We Turned 19 Today
Well we didn’t turn 19. The marriage did. Wow how time flies.
So we are working today, as the photos indicate since they were taken at the gallery. The plan was to go out for dinner and a movie tonight. But we couldn’t wait (we’re worse than children before Christmas) and went out last night instead. Mike calls it Anniversary Observed.
The problem with running around shopping, going to movies and eating out is it gets addictive. It took all my self control today to stay at work and not run off. Had we not closed Saturday and played hookie, I might have done just that.
I’m the hard ass when it comes to work ethic. Mike’s a push over. All I need to do is say “let’s go.” And there’s this whoosh of air and next thing he’s in the van, grinning.
Seriously, it’s really nice to have him always say “You should get it’ every time I indicate I want something. (Ummm . . .You should have expected me to go on about how great a guy my husband is on our anniversary, yes?)
So in honor of all the wedded bliss (well mostly wedded bliss, there were a few times it was . . . not so much) no real blog post for today.
But I’ll be back tomorrow with Part 1 of the 20 Things I’ve Learned From 20 Years of Doing Art Fairs. Now had I been a more clever blogger I would have made 20 posts instead of two. But who really wants that much information on the subject anyway.
PS We tried to include Budda in some photos but he kept having those weird glowy evil cat eyes.
PPS Anniversary juju is the best. I spilled Diet Coke all over the computer keyboard at home this morning and he just smiled at me. Ain’t love grand.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice pictures of you both and a very nice post. I am getting my days mixed up — does this mean you went out both Saturday and Sunday? I hope so. Are those some of your new duds? Whether or not they are — you look good. Both of your smiling faces are great — looking like newlyweds!
CONGRATULATIONS, MIKE & MONA!!!
Ahh the photos are lovely Mona and congratulations to you both!!! : )
Congratulations! Sounds like you had a great anniversary. Budda’s eyes are glowing with joy at being so loved by both of you, post the photos! Eyeshine’s a cat thing, it’s just cool. That rocks — and yes, you praised him if he’s always going “go ahead and get it” and patiently doing his share of earning it all. That is a cool guy and a good husband. He’s a lucky man too.
Congratulations to you both!!!!!
Nice pics and I love the OP bear WIP.
Thanks everybody!!! I’m not sure what is the appropriate celebratory item for 19 years, graphite? Monogrammed paper napkins?
At any rate we have come a long way since last year at this time. But we came through it all a little stronger and are now for the most part, happier than ever.
To clarify for Angela,
we partied on Sat. I painted on Sunday. We worked Monday the went out that night. And anniversary day we worked a full day, though technically nothing I did yesterday qualified as work.
