One Year Down, Countless More To Go

Today at noonish marks my and my wife's first anniversary.

One year later, we're less mohawkish and liberty-spikish, but I still wear my kilt regularly, and we still are having a great time. It was a tough year: death of my grandmother, death of a loved pet, job loss, unemployment, reduced wage contract work, financial belt-tightening, huge house repairs, and more. But with determination and a lot of help from from very supportive friends, the first year is now past.

Today we had a fine lunch of Hardee's around about the same time we were getting married a year go. How romantic is that? Our anniversary over Frisco burgers. Yum. However, despite this being the actual one year date, we're not celebrating today due to a confluence of circumstances. Primarily because today was Smacky's last concert of the season, and I joined her parents and a couple of her friends in the audience. Then we all went to dinner and chatted for a bit. We just made it home a little while ago.

We're saving celebrating our anniversary until next weekend, when over the three-day weekend we'll relax, read, watch movies, or otherwise while away the hours together. We do intend the leave the house long enough to have dinner at Thai Siam...the restaurant where we met over three years ago.

One down. Decades to go...
