Anniversaries!

So it was our 6 month anniversary last Friday....the 30th of June marked half a year. Fortunately we both remembered on Thursday (the day before) and made a mental note to wish each other happy anniversary on Friday. You know month anniversaries are kind of dumb. I've realized this....I guess the first half a year anniversary is a little momentous but you know when we've been married for 33 years I doubt we'll take time to reflect on our 33 and 1/2 year anniversary.
Some people celebrate all the anniversaries...the first time they met, the first time they went out, the first time they kissed, the first time they both ordered water at a resturant...etc. To be honest, I don't remember the dates of any of those things...and I seriously doubt Greg does either (especially the water one). And thats ok with us.
When we got married the Patriarch asked us "How long will you remember this day?" Greg and I both figured that he was talking about the DAY...not the actual symbolic meaning of the day and the covenants we made to one another...I answered "30 minutes at least" and Greg said "I guess a year"....needless to say the man gave us a dirty look....
Dates aren't important to either Greg or me. We just kind of go with the flow. We didn't keep the top of our cake (I believe my family ate it soon after we left the reception hall)....shoot we didn't even cut our own cake (we had my grandpa do that...I know...weird huh...) I'm sure though when the actual year anniversaries role around we'll give each other a high five or a "good game" slap to commemorate the occasion...and when we're old and gray and can't remember the "day" we'll just be satisfied we still remember we have the same last name.


I call this the cancer patient look....all my hair is stuffed into my hat.... oh and those are Greg's pants and sweatshirt...apparently my "southern' clothes wouldn't keep me warm enough so I had to go Minnesotan.
