A Toast to The Missus on the Occasion of Our Second Wedding Anniversary

2 years ago today, one of the promises I made to you in our wedding vows was that I would never let you forget what a jewel you are. That when you were feeling dull, I would be there to make you shiny again.

Well, I think it's safe to say that the past few months have undoubtedly left us both feeling a little dullish.

So, here's a toast...

...To us.

-To surviving an impossible summer.

-To weathering uncertainty.

-To the promise of fall and all that it might bring.

-To standing on the doorstep of a decade of couplehood as two people who would still rather talk to each other at a crowded party than anyone else.

-To the glorious moments we manage to cultivate while digging through a knee-deep pile of shit.

-To making each other shiny again.

...And to you.

For being the only woman I know who'd be okay with her husband heading to the bar at 11:30pm on a Monday night to work on a blog post.

I love you endlessly,

-A

NOW... To mark the occassion, here's a home recording that JJ did of the song he wrote for The Missus and I and performed at our wedding. You know any wedding song that mentions the Grand Canyon is gonna be a winner. It's a beautiful song and he graciously agreed to let me post it. Thanks, J.
