Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
Well another year has snuck by me and this Saturday is the 11th anniversary of my wedding day. My anniversary is kind of easy to remember since it is on my brother's birthday. I usually call him and wish him a Happy Birthday to which he replies with wishing me a Happy Anniversary. That is pretty much the entire conversation as we do not have a lot in common (other than blood and our last name). Either way, it is easy to remember. We originally planned to be wed a week later but the pastor suggested we move it forward or backward one week since Easter Sunday was the same weekend. We opted for moving it forward since we were eager to be married.
The traditional 11th wedding anniversary gift is steel. I do not know what I am supposed to buy that is romantic and steel at the same time. I think I will opt for dinner and a movie. My mother is in town this week so we don't have to put out the extra dough for a babysitter. Since she is leaving on the day of our anniversary we will likely go out tomorrow night which is fine by me as I do not like to eat out on the weekends due to the crowds.
This morning the wife and I were sitting on one of our chairs together. She looked into my eyes and said something like, "You know, I can't think of anything else that I have liked for 7 years." There was then an awkward silence until she realized her mistake and she quickly added, "Eleven, I meant eleven years!" I am hoping this is not a Freudian slip. We had a good laugh over it but I have reminded here several times of her mistake during the rest of the day and probably will each anniversary from now on (as is my custom when someone makes a mistake).
Well it is about the kid's bedtime so I better go spend some more time with them while I have the chance.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
