2 Years ago today

Monday, July 7th, 2008

2 years ago today, I finally accomplished a goal I had been pursuing for nearly 11 years and married the girl of my dreams.  The longest engagement in history and a long distance relationship to end all long distance relationships was all worth it, and we have now reached our cotton anniversary.  This morning I pointed this out to UltraGirl and pointed out the tantalizing array of cotton prefold diapers I have obtained for her in way of congratulations.  She looked so happy it was truly bone chilling.

I’m at work and don’t have much time to write a lot, but I just wanted to take a few minutes and express how lucky I feel to have found the perfect partner who keeps me from going off every available deep-end, is my best friend, is totally hot, and is—it turns out—a fantastic mother.  I’m not very good with the mushy stuff, but I love you honey, and I’m glad we’re married.  I plan to keep on this way for a good long time (until I run off that final deep-end in fact).

    That was just a diversionary tactic, and it appears to have worked like a charm!  *BWAHAHAHA*

    We actually got married on 7/7 (Tanabata) in 2006 legally, but had our ceremony on 12/2.  We got engaged in December 1995 after we started going out in September 1995 so we were in a big rush to get married and couldn’t wait for the cermony.

    You crazy people (you and Tomoko and Nicki and Chad) who have two anniversaries. I think you just want to make your various spouses buy you gifts more often. Not a bad idea… Should I feel cheated b/c Mike only married me once?

    Short answer: yes.

    Congratulations!! I don’t think that I could be engaged for 11 years, that’s a really long time.

    Thanks ladies.

    Jessica, is it?  I thought that was the standard.  Now I feel cheated.

    Heather we have a wonderful, romantic 2 1/2 month old, and I had wonderful, romantic work and a wonderful, romantic dentist appointment.  So considering all that, we totally had a wonderful, romantic evening.

    That was so touching, honey. What you have is all I could wish for any of my children. I love Tomoko too. I was really happy when you finally tied the knot, but I have to admit that since I actually attended the December ceremony, this date kind of slipped my mind. Happy Anniversary wishes only a little bit late.
