Anniversaries and Meetings and Jewelry, oh my!

So today is our two-month anniversary. Or, our second month-a-versary.

Alex is in Chicago with her family celebrating her sister's birthday and had I not had a relapse of the sick of Moltar, I would be there with them.

I've met Alex's mother, sister, and two nephews and a neice - they're all really great. She would have met my family on Tuesday, except for the fact of my sickness...we're hoping to reschedule for sometime maybe late this week.

I really want her to meet them. It seems like she would become "real" to them, instead of some random person I keep talking about. I felt lousy (in more ways than one!) when I got sick and was more or less banned from coming over to my parents house, so I wouldn't get dad sick(er).

Last night, I swung by Ray's Jewelrs and ordered (for the second time) a claddaugh ring for Alex. Sterling Silver, with a thin band. (The last place we ordered it from said they'd have it in a week - that was at least 3 weeks ago.) I cannot wait to get it and give it to her. (Obviously, it's not really a surprise, since Alex is probably the most faithful reader of this, along with myself...and apparantly someone in London and Yemen!)

Anyway, this is the beginning of our third month together. Two down, five hundred ninety eight (at least) to go!

I love you, my darling Alex.
