Anniversary photobooth

Took a bunch of shots of us on our anniversary (while we were just sitting at home on the couch.) Made them into a photo-booth-style new masthead for our blog (for those of you who use a RSS reader instead of going to the actual blog).

You can see some of the other shots in our October 09 album on Facebook.

It's funny how our anniversaries have progressed. On the first anniversary, it was very important to do something special because we hadn't had a honeymoon, and we were expecting our first baby. So we went on a weekend 'babymoon/honeyversary' to Mexico! Whew! On our second anniversary, we went to a nice dinner in Denver at a swanky little restaurant. On our third, we were in Penang, and procrastinated in figuring out were to go and what to do, so we kind of just winged the night and ended up at a restaurant down the street from our place, followed by a fish spa treatment around the corner.

And that brings us to this year! We did... NOTHING! We stayed home, and spent a very ordinary evening on the couch watching shows Hulu.com. Ordinary except for the photobooth session. We don't normally do those!

I guess the honeymoon is over! Ha!

How we're doing right now.

April 6th, 2009
Oh man, moving back home has been quite a transition! For Regin especially. It has taken him three months to return to being fully, or almost fully, potty trained. But we're home and happy to be with friends and in an environment where things are easier.

But of course, not everything is easier. George's first day back to work he learned that the company was exiting the business and he and all the other people that work on that product (including all those people he trained in Penang) were told to look for other jobs.

His last day was March 31st. No time for that cozy little 'sabbatical' though; after he finished his last day of work, his family called and told us they are coming (from Florida) for a visit on the 10th! This would be no big deal (other than being terribly exciting) if we were fully moved back in, but of course, until now, we've had VERY little motivation to fully unpack! So now we're preparing the house at warp speed!

You know, I do miss Penang. Hard to say what I miss exactly, because I know it's more than our friends there, but I feel a certain pang. And all the time we were there, other than missing family, friends, easy living, and snow, I never once actually missed 'Colorado.'

When we got back to Colorado, I expected to have a new and complete love for the place. I do appreciate some things a lot more, especially visual things. I see beauty where I didn't before. But it hasn't been the feeling of home that I expected, and I still have some of the same issues with the place. But what I do love IMMENSELY and will always love IMMENSELY is the people we have here. And it's been absolutely amazing to see how Regin has picked right back up where he left off with his loved ones here. There's no doubt in my mind that he somehow remembers them.
