Jess is unpacking her own boxes and working hard in her new teaching position this fall.
And me? I've been hard at work on my dissertation for the last couple of months. I'm hoping to finish my Ph.D. in English Literature this coming spring!
But like my mom and sister, I feel that sometimes you have to take a break from all the hard work to enjoy life's pleasures.
So a few weeks ago, around our two year wedding anniversary, my husband and I took the day off to celebrate our happy marriage at the happiest place on earth!
We had a blast on the rides!
The park was decorated for the season in festive fall colors.
We shared a special anniversary dinner at the "Blue Bayou" (they even lit a candle in a Mickey-shaped chocolate cake for us)!
Of course there were fireworks!
It was such a magical anniversary, and a much needed break from all of the dissertation work in the last few weeks. I've feel so fortunate to have found my prince, but I'll be wishing on a star that my Ph.D. dreams come true soon!

Two years, already? Well for us, it will be 33 years in March and it only seems like yesterday, really. Love has no time limits, so imagine the endless possibilities? May you be refreshed as you rest and go back to your studies. My husband did his Ph.D years ago, and it was painful to watch! I'd do mine but his experienced freaked me out!!!!
Hugs!
Good luck with the Ph.D. And you guys look so CUTE!! Looks like a fun time, nice celebration. :-)
Wow!
An amazing work ethic dwells within the walls of Red Rose Alley!
Beautiful faces too!
Happy Anniversary to you and your love!

Beautiful Sheri! Good afternoon!!!
Thank you for coming to visit my home. I got that vintage lamp at one of our great antique shops! It's very old and sweet; at night I have it lit up with a flicker light and it sets the mood.
My husband got his Ph.D out in Boston but it took him 12 years to finish his thesis!!!!! Thank goodness he finished and graduated in 2008 for which we flew out to Boston for his ceremony. It is grueling and depending on your area of study, the thesis can be longer or shorter. His was 600+ pages!
Wishing Nel much success and how are YOU?
Happy Anniversary, Nell! Wow- I remember when you got married---seems like a couple of months ago! lol Congrats and I am so glad you took a break and had a nice day of it. You are both as cute as can be! xo Diana
Oh, you have been very busy! Good job! Lovely photos of you and the Mr. enjoying a well-deserved break. Congratulations on your anniversary and wishing you well with your dissertation. xo Karen
Nel, Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary and I can't think of a better place to spend it:) We always enjoy visiting Disneyland and were there just about 6 weeks ago. It really is the happiest place on earth;) I enjoyed your photos and love the picture of you guys coming down Splash Mountain! xxleslie
♥ Happy Anniversary, Nell! ♥Beautiful and lovely photos! xxx Riitta
Happy Anniversary!
And that first photo is so lovely I stared at it for some time to fully appreciate its beauty and for me the lighting is perfect.
And I think being busy is better than having nothing to do at all:)
