Today is our 13th wedding anniversary. On Friday we dropped Bridget off at Grandma's and went to our place for dinner. It's called The Other Place, but it's our place. We've been going there since we were engaged. We also went to a movie ("An Education") at the Broadway, which happens to be on the same street as The Other Place. It's the sort of date we used to go on every week before we had a child in our lives. Now it's a fancy night for us. Which is how we like it.
(The picture at the top is from 2004. I decided to put my favorite picture up after posting my least favorite picture on the last entry. Also, Bridget keeps laughing every time she sees that grade school photo of me. "That's so crazy! That makes me silly!" Yeah yeah.)
This year had all of it - better and worse, sickness and health. My Grandpa Curtis advised us when we got married that marriage is not a 50-50 proposition, it's 100-100. Husband and wife each giving 100% is what makes it work. (My brother-in-law Ben advised us, "Pants first, then your shoes.") He's right. Grandpa and Ben. I love that I'm still willing and eager to give 100% to Brian and I know I'm getting that in return.Cheers to 13 joyful years!
