10 (long) years!

Elusive Sue and I have a joke that started about a year ago. I said something that I knew she would say just before she said it. She was astonished and asked me how I knew what she would say. I said, "Nine. Long. Years." Since then it is a big joke between us.

When I knew our 10th anniversary was coming, I figured we should have some fun with it. We called it a Five and Dime Party, since we are together 10 years and married 5.  Aluminum is the traditional gift for ten years together. So we asked everyone to wear tinfoil hats!* What a hoot! I loved how people got in the spirit of the party. And folks who didn't know** loved making hats with the tinfoil we had out. It was a party with a crafting element to it! We had plenty of great hats and even a Geordi LaForge eye visor.***

I should have taken more photos. But here is some snapshots from the day.

Five and Dime Party! Five and Dime Party! Five and Dime Party! Five and Dime Party! Five and Dime Party! Five and Dime Party!

I should have taken more pictures!! And we had lovely cookies that looked like nickles and dimes from Whipped Bakeshop. We had a great time and Quincey was the hit of the party. Everyone wanted to watch him get fed like he was the floorshow entertainment. And he got thoroughly loved and held by numerous people.

So there we are, 10 (long) years of being together. I am a lucky lady. And now my house is littered with awesome aluminum hats everyone made. Like some drunken space alien convention.

* I admit, I shamelessly stole this off a friend who went to one several years ago.

** b'c I was terrible and forgot to tell everyone

Happy 3rd anniversary!

Anniversary

So 3 yrs this weekend Sue and I got married. I still can't believe it myself. And I would love to do it all over again. (And once it is legal we will. We just had too much fun at our own wedding!)

We take this 3 day weekend as our anniversary even tho the real date is the 12th b'c we love remembering the 3 day weekend we had with friends that yr. This yr we are going camping!! Which also seems to have become a tradition.

(I still love that dress. Isn't it the best?)

Sue and I are still just in the beginning of what we hope is a long and happy life together. I know we count our lucky stars we found each other. And that we hope to support and grow together well into our dotage.

Wedding happy

It was a beautiful day. The weather was perfect. The friends were in abundance. We are very, very blessed.

I am lucky to have Sue as my wife. I am lucky to have such love in my life. I am very, very blessed.

This is one of my favorite fotos of the day. There was a rousing call for "The Knitters" to come forward for a group foto. Not everyone is in that foto. Some left early, some were outside, but that foto is my family. My knitting family helped make our wedding wonderful.
