Eight months? That long?

Last Thursday was our eight-month anniversary, but we spent it recharging the battery in Stephan's scooter and then making a trip to the grocery store for some basics we were running low on.

So, I guess you could say that we celebrated on Saturday by going to the temple and then eating at Yamato (best Japanese restaurant ever that is also inexpensive). Oh, and Stephan got his Pell Grant check in the mail right before we left for the temple. Yay!

Some of my married blogging friends (namely Rachel) like to put some random facts about themselves and their spouses around anniversary time. I think I shall do that now.

--When Stephan gets exhausted, he starts being very silly. When I get tired, I have no sense of humor whatsoever. This is one reason why serious discussions never happen close to bedtime.

--We both get comments on our "peculiar" manner of speaking. What's so peculiar about it?

--I love cherry pie, especially my mom's homemade cherry pie. Stephan doesn't like cherry pie...I will one day convert him. He doesn't like cherries--I don't like cherries by themselves, but in pie...heaven!!! Maybe he would like them in the form of a homemade pie...

--Stephan is the tallest in his family. I'm the shortest (not counting the niece and nephew here). And yet, 5'4" isn't particularly short, which should give you an idea of how tall the rest of them are.

--I have a hard time getting people to say my name the right way ("lah-ruh" rather than "loh-ruh"). Stephan's name gets misspelled a lot--it's said the same way as Steven, but it is spelled a unique way.

--We both love Japanese food. If he didn't like it, we wouldn't be married. True story. But he doesn't like sushi...that's okay, more for me ;)
