On this day ten years ago (TEN!), in the company of family and dear chosen family on a spectacular autumn day, I married my best friend.
We have now officially spent a quarter of our lives together!
Today also marks the twelfth anniversary of HRH and I doing our first road trip together, one of the joys I have continued to experience with him throughout our marriage. I’ve been told that the true test of a couple is if they can paint a room together without killing one another, but I suspect the ability to survive a road trip better attests to their ability to co-exist harmoniously.
I received an exquisite handmade wooden rose as an anniversary gift, and my parents sent us a cheque for a dinner out (thanks, Mum and Dad!). I’m exhausted and fighting this cold, and have the boy home for a third day in a row, so I don’t have much energy (there’s also a family dinner and a cello lesson ahead of me; I hope my teacher understands my inability to process much tonight), but I do have enough to say:
I love you, HRH. We’ve put up with a lot of ups and downs, challenges, and obstacles, but I think things are paying off in some sort of stability. We still have a way to go, but I can’t imagine traveling the road ahead with anyone but you… accompanied by the boy, of course, and any number of stuffed rabbits.
Happy Anniversary!!!!!! I hope it will be a very special day.
Wow! Ten years! Have a very happy day, and a lovely dinner out (whenever it happens, if it’s not today.)
Also, I hope you feel better. Colds are nasty things, and two is a row is just not fair.
How wonderful! Happy Anniversary!
Happiest of happy anniversaries!!!!

Many, many congratulations!
And might I humbly suggest that you also join T & I in instigating the new tradition of a bottle of ‘Bubbly’ at every anniversary? It certainly beats trying to find out what animal, vegetable or mineral is being used to celebrate that particular year ~ and a lot tastier too! :)
*hugs*
Thank you, everyone!
Ebren: Oh, we ignore those lists completely; I always thought they were annoying. How many clocks does one couple need anyway? Alas, HRH does not like bubbly, although I would gladly drink his share. But we do try to share sushi on or around the date!
Congratulations to two of my favoritemost people!
