We continue as we began
Howard and I spent our first wedding anniversary scraping and staining the wooden siding of our newly purchased house. The day ended with piles of work yet to do. It was after midnight that night when we rolled, exhausted, into bed and realized we’d completely forgotten our anniversary.
Tomorrow is our 15th anniversary. In keeping with tradition, we’ll be rolling out of bed at o’dark-thirty, climbing in the car, driving for eight hours, and then hauling several hundred pounds of books into a convention center to set up a booth. By the end of it all, we will be exhausted and we’ll still have 5 days of convention to go.
We started out working together and we’ll continue in the same way. It’s been a great fifteen years and I’m hoping for twice as many more ahead.
