An Anniversary

Tomorrow is my sixth wedding anniversary. The Wife and I met in the fall of 1990 during my first semester in college. After ten years of school and career pursuit we tied the knot and got ourselves hitched. There were lots of reasons why we waited but mostly it was just waiting for a time that felt like we could tackle the marriage process. Weddings are expensive and require considerable planning.

Everybody says it, but it really does seem like yesterday. Some things seem like they happened aeons ago, other things like it was last week. Time is funny as you pass through more and more of it.

So what am I doing for our anniversay? Well, the Wife is enjoying herself at a scrap book convention this weekend. Once a year her and a good friend from college attend a weekend workshop (put on by another friend) wherein a large number of women get together and “scrap”. That is they spend the weekend cutting colored paper and stickers and pictures and organizing them carefully into pages with annotations whereby they become family photo albums chronicaling events from their own or another’s life. The Wife puts a lot of work and thought into this weekend and has goals for what she wants to get done. So when she was planning the weekend outting this year she noticed it fell on our Anniversary. She approached the Husband carefully as to how to proceed. I’m like, “of course you go…you only do this one a year!”. She is only a town away at a hotel/convention center where there is a pool and hot tub. I’ll go over there tomorrow and take her to dinner…maybe hang out and go swimming. It’ll be fun.

Sorry I haven’t posted for a few days. Between work, school, and domestica, I hardly have a spare minute. Things are going well though and I shouldn’t be complaining. I have problems that aren’t critical but require time and attention. The challenges are a plenty. It helps keep me aware.
