That’s right, my long-suffering spouse has been suffering for precisely two years, today, courtesy of the Province of Quebec (and, well, me). In celebration, we’ve probably (I’m writing this ahead of time and setting it to post later on) tried to replicate the occasion by crawling out of bed way earlier than my nocturnal writing habits consider humane, putting on stupidly fancy clothes, pumping me sufficiently full of caffeine that I can pass for legally competent, and then wandering around aimlessly. (OK, the day itself also included lunch courtesy of the extremely generous man who agreed to be our second witness, even though he’d never met us before we showed up to crash at his house the night before.) I assume that he wants me to remember this, because he took the trouble to remind me of the date a couple weeks ago. I’m not really big on remembering dates unless they have some underlying logic to them, and “The first day the notary could fit us in” just doesn’t cut it for me. I’m also not big on public displays of sentiment, in case you’ve managed to read this far and not figure that bit out. However, it would be a mistake to take the flippancy of my words as a direct indication of the depth of my feeling. I can’t imagine having gone through these past two years without you by my side, partner. I’d still do it all over again tomorrow. Except maybe not before noon.
Here’s to many more years like the last two!
Oh, the contest from last week? Both Elizabeth and BlueRoses told us about lovely blogs that we already knew about, and so, after much discussion, we decided it was only fair that both of them win the handknit shawls I’ve already made (or am in the process of making) for them.
Anniversaries are lovely, so I am wishing you a happy one, with much time spent gazing into the eyes of your loved one, and many more years of looking forward, together.
Squee!! Win! I feel slightly (but not a lot) guilty for only suggesting a blog already on your roll, so I will endeavour to think of others. Unfortunately, the theology blogs I like best have been pretty quiet recently and I’ve not really trawled for new ones in a while. I’m sure you can come up with some reasons why.
I will go and give my shawl an extra pet of theological win.
If you ever have time while petting it to get out the camera and try to get a better shot of it than the one on my Ravelry project page, I’d be much obliged. Ditto the stuff I made for the wee one–I was so focused on finishing everything that I didn’t get around to photographing it. Of course, I know you’re beyond busy and have more important things to do than taking pictures of wool. But should the opportunity arise, I’d appreciate it all the more!
