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.

Happy Anniversary! I'm so happy for you! This is one of those things that remind me that people like you and Ikon are so much older than I am. One of my friends did this thing (it's hard to explain, but it's in the same family as palm reading) that's supposed to tell what age you're going to get married at, and apparently I'll be 24, so I still have 7 and half years to enjoy.

Hey, marriage can be fun, too, in its own way. So don't go thinking that your life will be over at that point. :)

Sometimes I forget how much younger you are. That's one of the cool things about the Internet, isn't it? Getting to know people you would never interact with otherwise.
