Today is our anniversary. I surprised LOML with some flowers at the office, which she told me made her day. (I remembered it, an unusual situation indeed.)
It's hard to believe it's been that long--3 houses, 5 or 6 cars and 4 kids later. Not to mention 3 dogs and a half dozen or so cats. I met her in 1983, and was instantly smitten with her. We went out on April 2 of that year, and after a long, long engagement tied the knot in 1987.
When I think how naive we were back then--well, I can't believe how little we knew about raising a family and having a life together. It's probably good we didn't know what we were getting into! Of course, we're still learning.
In one way she's responsible for my post here, because she encouraged me to take up woodworking and looked the other way when I made a lot of tool purchases. (As opposed to fool purchases.) I have made her a lot of stuff, so I guess she got her money's worth there.
Anyway, she's better than I deserve, and I try not to forget this each and every day. And I hope she doesn't think about it too much...
