Happy Anniversary to Me!

It's been two years since I legally teamed up with Millari.  They've been pretty good ones, too.  I have, more than once, lamented in this journal that I haven't been progressing in life, growing as a person.  Taking a moment now to look at what I have done, and not what I blame myself for not doing, I have come a long way from a passive, self-loathing, person with no life goals or plans, to a person with some actual ambitions, and the drive to accomplish them.  I have a rewarding marriage, a nice house, a good job, two cats, and good friends.  Of late, I have even been writing creatively, and it's been exciting (the retreat to Noble View kick-started things) and i finally, finally, started going around to local schools and inquiring about job openings and such.  It looks like there are real possibilities, that might pay well, too.  I'm excited about the idea of making more money than we spend.

In all of this, millari has been my partner, my ally, my critic, my audience, and my biggest fan.  If I believed in a personal deity, I would thank Him/Her/It for bringing us together.


In the short term:

Tonight, we dine at Chez Albert.  Tomorrow, an old friend comes to visit from abroad.  Sometime in August, we'll take a vacation together.

For now, Joyeux Anniversaire, ma copine!

Joyeux Anniversaire, indeed! Congratulations. You guys are really great together and I'm so glad that everything is working out so well for you and her.

Have fun with your friend. Is it who I think it is? First name beginning with an R?

Happy team swarming day to you two.

May the earth tremble before you, and all your enemies throw themselves to the dire lampreys to avoid your wrath.

Yay!

Two years, WOOT!

This post made me smile from ear to ear. I'm really happy being married to you. It's at the top of the list of best decisions I've ever made in my life. :)
