Celebrating Our First Year
With apologies for the lateness of this post, I wish to say a very big Thank You! to all those who attended our 1st Anniversary Party at Caledon Cymru on the 13th of this month. Thank you to His Grace Viderian Volmar of Cymru - my best man at our wedding - for letting us hold the party in his stunning new Keep, thank you to Her Grace Gabrielle Riel of Carntaigh for providing a wonderful DJ set, but most of all, thank you to Kacy, for giving us reason to hold this party in the first place, by becoming my wife a little over one year ago. I didn't know it was possible to be this happy, but you show me every day that it is.

Every day a celebration!
For those of you wondering what happened at the party on Saturday, well nothing did! The interwebs were not being kind to us, and my beloved was unable to get IW for a while. We have therefore postponed our anniversary do for a week or so, whilst we check our diaries to find another mutually convenient time. One of the challenges of an online marriage!
However, for me, whilst a party is a great opportunity to see friends and share a time of happiness with them, in truth all that I needed to celebrate our anniversary was to be with Kacy, and as we were eventually able to be together I was more than happy! Every one of the last 365 days spent as her husband has been a celebration for me, a joyous gift of love. In the last year we have had our first Christmas together, and our first Valentines Day. We have both celebrated a RL birthday, again the first we have shared with each other. Our home of Tanglewood has had its first Rez Day, and most recently so has Kacy, probably the best party we have had since our wedding reception!
We do not post that much here nowadays, nor are we as involved with Caledon as perhaps we should be, but we continue to grow together as a couple. RL has seen changes for us both, and I know I have been able to weather them, and absorb them, so much better because I have Kacy to stand beside me. Our wedding may have been a virtual one, but our marriage is as real as any I know, closer than a few in fact!
I can never thank my wife enough for becoming just that, for making me feel less like a single man than I ever have done. I cannot wait for every new day that dawns for us! We will reannounce the party here shortly, and I hope that as many of you as can will join us in marking - however belatedly! - our very special anniversary.
"There can never be another for me but you, and I now know that there never has been anyone for me but you.”
I would like to add to my husband’s post, staying as one, just as we have been for this last year of truly wedded bliss. The above quote was from my amazing husband. And it is as true for me today, as it was the day of our wedding. There can never be another for me but him, and I now know there never has been anyone for me but him. I never imagined I could find someone to love as much as I love Mordecai, and who would love me just the same in turn. This year and half we have been together, and our first year of marriage, have been the happiest of my life. I get to wake up every day in the comfort of a love like none I have ever known, a love that fills me and strengthens me. I get to spend each day in a marriage that grows stronger every day, a marriage where I love my husband more than I did the day before, and know that it will be again that much more the next day, and every day until forever. I am truly blessed to love this man, and have him love me in return. My life has been made more complete by his love, and there is nothing I treasure more than being his wife.
As Mord said, we aren’t here much, nor are we out and about in Caledon as we used to be. Ours is a quiet life, spent laughing and loving, wrapped in each other’s arms, truly enjoying each other. And whether we are out at an event, or just curled up on the sofa, the most important thing is that it is our life, a life that was created when we joined as husband and wife one year ago, and one I am lucky enough to live everyday with Mordecai by my side.

My Primtings Exhibit - Selected Works of Max Ernst
I'm not usually one for such shameless self-promotion, but I am thrilled to announce I have an exhibit on display at Ina Centaur's amazing Primtings Sim. I have created five of Max Ernst's surrealist paintings which are now on the display at the Sim. I love Ernst’s work, his version of surrealism speaks to me, and conveys such emotion, even when the canvas is filled with what seems to be a random group of objects. His paintings allow the individual to interpret what the art means to them, and the medium of 3D art lends itself so well to making his art come to life.
I started the project as just something to challenge myself, to see if I could faithfully recreate artwork in SL, and Ernst's unique surrealism was the perfect inspiration. I tried to use as few sculpted prims in these works as possible. I created the majority of the textures by hand, wanting to take as little from the original painting as possible. This project made me feel like a true artist; Not only did I get to build them, to see a once flat piece of art come alive, but I also got to be the painter, lending my own digital brushstrokes to the works.
I was lucky enough to have Tezcatlipoca Bisiani, the talented artist who created the virtual Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks", discover my work as I tinkered away at IBM. I was invited to display my work at the Primtings Sim, and am just so excited and honored to have my work in such a groundbreaking Sim alongside some of Second Life's most talented artists. Please click here for a SLURL to my exhibit, and make sure to explore the rest of the Sim and see how art really can come to life in this virtual world.
