Day Twenty-seven: Happy Anniversary

Today is my 22nd Wedding Anniversary. Can't believe how fast time has flown. I remember and love the instant I fell in love with Allan, the crinkly feeling I got when we were pronounced man and wife, and all the moments that got us to this point.

We don't make a big deal about it lately and I think we even let it pass last year (well, it wasn't such a great year). So this morning after paying the bills (in and out it goes), food shopping (doing my creative best to save money) and loading the laundry in the car I discovered I had a near flat. I felt so defeated, I mean, c'mon, can't I catch a break??? Sitting in the laundry now, sulking away and the cell rings. It's Allan, "hey Happy Anniversary, didn't want you to think I forgot". So I tell him my tale of woes and he just chuckles and says don't worry about it.

And the sky clears and somehow everything gets a little better.

Tonight we feasted on my $2.99/lb prime ribs, on a tablecloth with cloth napkins and candlelight and we both know why we're still in love with each other.
