year

[owlmoose]

Although the actual date isn't until tomorrow, T and I celebrated our first anniversary today. We spent the afternoon at his friend DW's birthday party (which I didn't mind, especially given that DW basically gave up his birthday to our wedding last year). After a stop by a local park to walk off the heavy lunch, we dropped by a favorite used bookstore, then had a light dinner at the Chinese restaurant where we had our first date. A pleasant day all around, full of companionship and conversation.

So a year of marriage has gone by, which I believe makes us officially no longer newlyweds. It's funny, though, because I don't know that I ever felt like a newlywed. T and I have lived together for going on six years, after all, and have been involved for almost seven. Marriage really didn't change anything all that much from a practical standpoint, or even from an emotional one. In some ways, the crucial moment for us was deciding to get married in the first place -- everything that followed was just a formality. Then again, going through the formality was important to me, so maybe marking the date is meaningful after all.

I see that the clock has turned past midnight. Happy anniversary, T. May it mark the first of many good years together.

You are wise to get the adaptations and adjustments out of the way before making the formal commitment. Now you can enjoy all the good parts without fretting.

Happy anniversary. It is the twenty-sixth of the month and I assume that is the correct day. We wish you all the happiness there is.

Take care of your shoulder and do not re-injure it in all the celebration. ;-)

Thank you. Yes, it is today.

I am mindful of the shoulder. :) It's in a weird danger zone right now, because I'm getting my range of motion back. So I can use it, but I shouldn't, and yet it's difficult to resist...
