It seems like yesterday that Roxy rolled into our lives, with only four hundred miles on her odometer and all of the tread still on her tires. Back then, Chris and I were biased against cars, seeing no need for them in our walk-friendly city of San Francisco. Over the past six months, Roxy has become [...] I find the old adage, “put your money where your mouth is” more than a little bit funny. Just think for a moment and laugh with me… Thinking… Thinking… Heidi Fleiss… Thinking… This morning, Chris and I took the first legal step in changing our names. For those of you who are thinking of taking on a new last name [...] Friends have told me that we’ll be looking back on the wedding experience for several weeks to come. While I already feel like everything happened approximately one hundred years ago, I have to agree that certain moments keep cycling through my mind, one of which was the Parent Dinner last Wednesday night. No matter what the [...] Yes, we’ve chosen a name- it’s Ford. Scott and Janet… you called this one weeks ago, but we didn’t want to share the name until we had completely decided and were ready to commit. You’re probably wondering why, especially if you weren’t around this past weekend to see us get married. While I’d rather be writing [...] I love it when I receive wedding spam. I mean, I really love it. Especially when I haven’t signed up for it. I just know that no matter how many times I unsubscribe, I’ll be able to “enjoy” these emails for years to come. Today’s spam reminded me of a task that Chris and I are [...] We’re just a few weeks away from our actual wedding ceremony and all the details are finally being officially decided. Pre-wedding dinner, check. Parental meeting, check. Afternoon rodeo, check. At this point, if you are not a regular reader, you may be saying, “Wait, I thought they did a road trip instead of a wedding.” Actually [...] Roxy is solely responsible for eliminating my Fat Car Ass. She drives me to the gym when I don’t feel like getting up in the morning and encourages me to go to the mountains for long afternoon hikes. While we have several days left of interviews and meet-ups, Roxy has promised me that she’ll take [...] Everyone who has owned a car in San Francisco has a scary parking story. Mine took place five years ago in North Beach, an especially hilly section of the city. I was parallel parking on a downhill slope when I “tapped” the bumper of the car in front of me. “Tapping” is common practice with [...] We’re back in San Francisco, something that inspires mixed emotions for both Chris and me. While Chris is off at work earning his keep, I’m here at my apartment, catching up on episodes of The Bachelorette, working on freelance assignments, and plotting the in-state visits that will take place over the next thirty-six days. Apparently, there’s no rest for the wicked (or the Wedding Road Trippers). Roxy is parked outside on the street, basking in the late afternoon sun. I think she’s happy to have a bit of a rest before we take her out on the road once again. She’s not much of a city driver like her cousin the Fusion Hybrid, but she’ll do navigate the San Francisco streets if we make [...] This morning, Roxy, Chris and I were driving to my father’s house in Camarillo, one day away from returning to San Francisco. The three of us were talking about the return to “normal” life when Roxy brought up a good point… The trip is not over yet. With 36 days left until we get married, we’re just [...] |
