enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

2yearsinmd On August 6, 2007, I hopped on a plane and moved to Maryland to live with my boyfriend of a little over a year. We had spent approximately four weeks in the same zip code while nurturing our one year relationship and now we were going to live in the same apartment number.

We’ve learned from each other and grown together. He is my very best friend and the love of my life. Living on the East Coast away from our family and tight circles of friends has made us a unique island. We are stronger because of it and I think in many years will look back on these past two as some of the best.

I love you P. You’re my favorite.

And TODAY we are busy. Paul has a big medicine test (Step 2 CK) tomorrow so his head is buried in books. And I am off bright and early to letterpress land. I have a custom stationery order to tend to and I am also working on some covers for a new minibook kit. Two years ago today I would have never thought this is the sort of work I would be doing. FUNNY (& awesome) how quickly things change.

Happy Thursday! (AND THANK YOU for the sweet words about our engagement photo. We are so excited to see the rest!!)

    Wow, I can’t believe I’ve been following you that long! 🙂 I still remember admiring your little scrapbooking corner when you studied. Congratulations to both of you!

    Alright, I’m admitting it- I’m envious of you & p’s love story. I only wish mine & my boyfriends was nearly as epic! Maybe epic isn’t the right word, but our love seems so easy. We aren’t faced with cross-country moves or desolation from friends & family. It makes me incredibly grateful but at the same time I can only imagine how much stronger of a “team” it’s made you two.
    Best of luck in everything that comes your direction! I love reading all the wedding posts! Can we be expecting baby posts any time in the near future?! 🙂
