At Last

[Ghoulish Delight]

This thread is coming a little early because tomorrow we leave for 3 night celebration (the details of which remain a secret to CP). But I wanted to make sure I posted this before we go.

Ten years.

1702

Ten years ago (as of Saturday) I followed through on the easiest decision of my life. I said "I do" to a lifetime of joy, passion, and partnership. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't spend time thinking about how truly fortunate I am to have married the perfect person for me. I've been planning our celebration for over 5 months, which has had me dwelling on these 10 years (and the 6.5 years of "dating" that preceded it). It simultaneously seems completely unbelievable and entirely inevitable.

1705

And what is most astounding is that 10 years ago all I could think was, "How can it get any better?" And now, all I can think is, "Will it ever stop getting
better?" The wedding came at a time of transition for us, not only leaving single life behind, but I had just graduated from college and we were just getting acquainted a certain group of friends that, in no small part, have contributed to that feeling of continual improvement of our lives. Still too new to be at the wedding, they were already too important to us not to include them in our joy some way. And, in keeping with what would become a familiar pattern, they helped turn a one-day event into a month long celebration.

1703

And here we are again at a new point of transition, once again with easy decisions to make because I know I've got someone who supports me in every way I need.

Jen, I love you. Evers.

Happy 10th Anniversary

More historical imagery. (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v254/codexjen/Wedding%20meet%20at%20DL%209-9-02/) Ten years is apparently a long time.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Awww, happy anniversary! Will it ever stop getting better? I sincerely hope not! :)

[Strangler Lewis]

Nice pictures. Congratulations!

[innerSpaceman]

Mazel-tov, you two. Really, two of the most wonderful people I've ever known, raising a third who's a constant joy. I'm so continually happy for you and your beautiful little family.

Ten years went by in a flash, it seems - so here's to the next 75!!! :cheers:

Why do I wonder if this photo was preceded by the question:

"I forget, is this Japanese or Chinese?"

[Ghoulish Delight]

No, it was preceded by the question, "Why the fvck am I at Disneyland this early, and why the fvck are you taking my photograph? I can't even keep my eyes open."

[Snowflake]

Awwww, Happy Anniversary you two (three). :cheers:

You get less for murder, these days.

:P

...and how DARE you have a meet 2 whole months before I brought Stoat to the park? Sloppy planning, dear. Never mind, I forgive you.

Now we have to plan a visit so I can give you your Diamond Anniversary gift (according to Modern gift tradition - Traditional suggests Tin. yes, Tin.)

After lots of foraging for a diamond gift, I've picked one out for you. What woman wouldn't be happy with a gift of a diamond on their anniversary:

Does the thread title have anything to do with Etta James?

After 6 years of unofficial engagement, there couldn't have been a more obvious choice for the first dance.

[€uroMeinke]

Congratulations!

V€M. Who are those children??

[NirvanaMan]

Hey i just stumbled upon this new site. What's it about?

[Kevy Baby]

After 6 years of unofficial engagement, there couldn't have been a more obvious choice for the first dance.6 years? Pshaw; lightweights. Susan and I got married on the 11th anniversary of our first date.

[Morrigoon]

Awwww, congrats! And now you two are a delightful three :)

[wendybeth]

Nothing much to say here, except a very heartfelt Happy Anniversary, and a big thank you for your friendship and the gift of Awesome Theo, my Pirates bud. He's quite the little Man- you've both done very well. :)

[RStar]

Congrats!!

I hope you have a great time at Mel's Motorlodge in Needles!!

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Almost out the door for our getaway. He's built this up so much, I have no idea what to expect. :)

Love you guys - these last 10 years are extra awesome because of you.

[Kevy Baby]

Have fun you two! No Car-B-Ques!

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Aww. Happy, happy anniversary to two people I dearly love. Have a WONDERFUL time.

Look at those baby-faces! And how your sense of style has changed over the years. I squeeze you both.

[Gn2Dlnd]

I hope it's Paradise Falls (http://science4grownups.com/archives/2009/05/29/general/the-real-world-behind-ups-paradise-falls-530)! Congratulations, you two!

Through the years ahead of you, the best of everything! :cheers:

Happy 10th anniversary to the Happy Haunts!

[Ghoulish Delight]

Thanks all.

We had an indescribably amazing weekend. So epic that even actions from the office of the PotUS intended to disrupt it failed.

A high point among a multitude of high points was our meal at RM Seafood, where chef/owner Rick Moonen was not only gracious enough to spend a few moments at our table to say hello, but unbeknownst to us quietly asked the kitchen to prepare a dessert sampler for us to celebrate. 100% classy on his part, and a perfect ending to an already memorable meal.

[alphabassettgrrl]

Nice! I like a place that gives that little extra to make things special.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

I can't even begin to detail the amazing weekend we had. A fantastic room with a perfect Bellagio fountain view, a helicopter ride over the strip at night, Cirque's Zumanity, no less than three meals at incredible chefs' restaurants, drinks at a rooftop club, lots of "Napping" in the room and time in the pool...it was bliss.

I got to rediscover how thoughtful GD can be. He knows me so well. I couldn't ask for a better husband.

Now I want GD to take me to Vegas.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Do you put out?

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I will! :evil:

[alphabassettgrrl]

Wow. How wonderful! Glad you had such a great weekend and anniversary!

[cirquelover]

It sounds like a wonderful adults only weekend!

Edited to add: Ooops, this was supposed to posted in "egghead" my bad.

Ooooh, I'm sorry, the answer we were looking for was, "No".

7 months is a short time to manufacture a printer !

[Moonliner]

7 months is a short time to manufacture a printer !

You are of course correct kind sir. May/June would be a more realistic time frame given the complexity of today's printers.

[Stan4dSteph]

Congratulations! Those photos take me back. :)
