Tomorrow will be our fifth wedding anniversary. Can you believe that? Where did the time go? I guess five years isn't very long. I am amazed at how often I still fail to remember foods that Paul hates, for example. I think I named five different dinners in a row on Wednesday that he didn't like. In five years, we've:
Lived in four apartments in two states and one foreign country
Bought a car
Adopted a cat
Accumulated three bachelor's degrees
Entered the world of gainful employment (well, one of us)
Yet, it doesn't feel like much has changed. One of the quirks of time, I suppose. I thought I'd fill the rest of the space with crazy trivia about us or nice sentimental memories, but I can't really think of any trivia and, let's be honest, I'm not much of a nice sentimental memory person. I guess if there's anything I've learned, is that when times are good, it doesn't matter so much whether you're alone or not (though not is better), but when times are hard or bad or just plain miserable, being married makes an unmeasurable difference.

Happy Anniversary... and I feel so much better about the meals I've subjected Paul to. As to memories, how about toenails polished on only one foot? Or, the train crossing - where are they??? Maybe the trip to Montana? Plane flights to Taiwan? I expect you'll continue to share many more wonderful and exciting :) experiances in the next 5+ years. Congratulations on five years well spent. Love to you both, Mom
Way to go, I hope the day was a good one and you enjoyed the night. Happy Anniversary!!!!!
Love
Dad
