Our anniversary

Its today. Fifteen years ago today, we had 3-4oo people in a Baptist church ( go ahead, laugh---that goes to show how you are raised holds a place in you, especially when you are young and not a big enough girl to point out that you do not agree with all that, and that what you think matters) and the air conditioner broke. We wondered what all that flapping was about.

I could tell stories about the wedding that are funny=God knows there are a pack of them--or I could tell about the reception--a whole nother mess of funny--the honeymoon......now that was a mess that made me re-think the whole deal---

but why? what it comes down to is that I am the luckiest woman in the world. I am married to my best friend. Sure, we bicker and carry on, but if I were to design a man---this is him. He is smart. funny, so tolerant, and...well I am not sure what the word is, but he is the most best thing that I could ever have met and built a life with. We have a similar sense of adventure and have a ball living it out--but in the end, I know that the day to day experiences are what ground us. I can see that more every day. now that we are enduring another cycle that keeps us apart during the week.

Talking on the phone tonight about our day's events and our anniversary reminded me of when we were dating--way back in 1992--wow. Such a long time ago. Remember those days when you held your breath and waited for the phone to ring---I still do that.

Happy anniversary baby-- I love you
