Buon giorno, tutti! Today is our fourth wedding anniversary, and we are now crossing the threshold of having spent half of our married life together. I found a great card with an arm wrestling couple that says "Still holding hands," but I don't think H would appreciate the humor as much as I do. I opted for one about me burning the sauce. I usually burn it a little but last month I really charred it. H actually thinks it's okay, though not as good as usual. Bless him.

One of the best things I think we've done this year is making mutual friends. Up until last year, our "mutual friends" were my friends, and to be honest most of them are more like acquaintances even to me. We've been spending time with them, because we don't know anyone else. We've met some really cool people through the Italian group and other places. I'm still keeping up with "my" friends who are really friends, but it's been really nice having friends whom we both trust and enjoy being around.

Gotta go! Have a great week everyone and take care of yourselves. -- z
