Lisa n Tom (n James n Joseph)

Lisa writes: The secret to a good open house is to have really nice family friends with a really gorgeous home who let you invite 72 perfect strangers and a duo of caterers to take it over and eat, drink, and spill red wine on your carpet for four hours. (And the second secret to a good open house is NOT to let the Mormon girl go pick up the "white wine" because she does not know the difference between a cabernet and a chardonney and she'll come back with the wrong kind just because -- and I'm not kidding here -- the bottle said "Yellow Tail" so she assumed that meant the white was yellow.) j

the way I see him Originally uploaded by lisa.n.tom . Lisa writes: Tom is 6 foot 3 inches and I measure in at a measly 5 feet 5 and a quarter inches. So when we're both standing, this is how I see him.

Lisa writes: The strangest thing about marriage so far is how normal it's been. Flossing together in the morning. Standing in front of the fridge awaiting inspiration after work. Bumping into Tom's legs when I roll over at night. People calling me "Mrs. Anderson." All normal. And I didn't think it would be. I thought it would be weird . Once we got past the part where Tom kept trying to kiss me goodbye and kick me out of his apartment every night, everything has been very, very normal.
