Words can never tell you, however, — form them, transform them anyway, — how perfectly dear you are to me — perfectly dear to my heart and soul. I look back, and in every one point, every word and gesture, every letter, every silence — you have been entirely perfect to me — I would not change one word, one look. -Robert Browning, to Elizabeth Barrett At the end of this week, on October 3rd, my husband and I will have been married for exactly one year. In honor of that milestone, this week my posts will be one big celebration of our relationship. Happy anniversary week to us!

There is nothing wrong with my kidneys. I peed. A lot. I now know what it might be like to have diabetes insipidus. Drinking this much water and being a nurse aren’t mutually exclusive, but almost.

Yesterday was awesome. I got eleven hours of sleep and didn’t change out of my PJ’s until around 5:30 p.m. when I decided to get off my bum and go for a run.It was a perfect way to spend the first day of fall, especially considering the weather was cool and rainy. What did I do, you ask? Well, for starters I caught up on lots of blog reading. I coveted a professional design for my own, thought about and rejected paying for one, and instead placed this book on reserve at the library: I ventured further out into the blogging community by browsing the links of people I follow, and added lots of new subscriptions to my Google Reader….
