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.
