17 Years Ago...
Jul. 17th, 2009 12:00 am...I married my best friend.
We've been through a lot, and I don't think either of us then had any idea our lives would be as they are now. Events have been up and down (mostly up), and I wouldn't have wanted to have gone through any of it with anyone else.
I'm in Boulder this week, attending a class at NCAR, so we're not together on our anniversary day, but long ago we agreed that the specific day we celebrate isn't important. We move holidays all the time, and I know that she loves me every single day. We agreed I would come on this trip alone because, though we enjoy each other's company immensely, we both need our alone time now and then, and since we moved to West Lafayette I haven't had much of it (not that spending most of the day in a class with 80 other people is much alone time). Despite the need for occasional alone time, I do miss her dearly, and can't wait to see her at IND on Sunday afternoon.
