Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since we got married. A lot has happened in the intervening years, but we’re still happily together, looking forward to any more.
The weird thing is that the weather this week has shaken out pretty similarly to 10 years ago. Lots of rain all week leading up to the wedding/anniversary day, and predictions of rain for May 8th, but the day broke clear and never threatened to rain. The day was hot and humid though, just like today.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any easily accessible pictures from back then. We’ve got the wedding album, so I could have scanned something, but I don’t want to tear into that. We had a digital camera back then, but it used 3.5” diskettes to store the files. Imagine that! Unfortunately, modern computers don’t have floppy disk drives any more, so getting to those files will take some jerry-rigging. So for now, we’ll just have to leave it to our imagination to remember things.
We actually took the afternoon off to spend some time together (sans kids), although it was interrupted by the fact that the dryer is going on the fritz. What a wonderful anniversary gift for each other! (We had been holding off on declaring something, so I guess this is going to count.)
We also made a spur of the moment decision to watch the new Star Trek movie, and we don’t regret it one bit. They have done a great job blending the old Trek storylines with a new direction for the franchise. Casting of the characters was very good in keeping with the old personality quirks and even the looks. All in all, it’s a great movie experience. Even if you’re not steeped in all of the Star Trek lore, it’s just a quality movie. Kellie and I both would recommend it. Kellie even said she’d see it again in the theater.
But back to today’s event. I just want to wish Kellie another happy anniversary, and I’m looking forward to many more to come. (As long as the appliances don’t keep breaking.)
