I believe in time travel
Well maybe not “travel” as it were, but I am beginning to think time is not as constant as my physics teacher once told me.
Today is my 4 year anniversary with my wife Carrie. I really think these last 4 years have been the best of my life. We are running away for the weekend, gonna go hang out at the coast at a resort and spa called Salishan. As many of you know we have a baby on the way in December so this is our last get-a-way before many years of family vacations :) We are really excited, this will be the best vacation we have had since our honeymoon cruise. And I can hardly believe that was 4 years ago.
On the baby topic, I had a quite overwhelming weekend. I spent several hours at babies-r-us creating our baby registry. For a first time father that experience is a real eye opener. I think baby and I think about it in terms that prioritize needs like an adult. I think I need someplace for it to sleep, some clothes, some food, and diapers. But surprisingly those are not even things you put on a registry (so I am told). So we looked at all sorts of others stuff ( who knew Babbie’s needed their own dishwasher rack ) and I got to play with the scanner gun. I think at the end of the day my wife was very tired of me scanning her and running around like james bond, sneaking around corners and rolling down the aisle :)
But all and all it was a great day with my wife. I love spending time with her, more than anyone else in my life. I take that as a good sign that I picked the right girl. Although we have only been married for 4 years (only?) January will mark 9 years of us being a couple. I figure we are over the big hurdles ( baby excluded ) and I look forward to a long happy life with my wonderful wife.
Thanks for these wonderful years wifey. I love you! I look forward to the rest of our lives together.
Awww! It is not nice to make your pregnant and hormonal wife cry (especially at work!) but you are the sweetest thing ever. Thank you for all the great times we have shared together.
And I didn’t mind you "scanning" me with the gun or running around James Bond style…it just reminded me of doing the same thing for our wedding registry four years ago. I love that some things never change.
I love you and I can’t wait for the rest of our lives together either.
well dammit now i’m crying and i’m neither pregnant nor hormonal :)
congrats all around (the anniversary, the baby, getting to play with the scanner gun, etc) :)
Make sure you get as many of those weekends in as you can! That baby’s gonna take that away awful fast…
Can’t wait to hear the day when the little one actually arrives!
