12 years today. Ah, the power of love. Being without Al today has spurred me to think back on all our past anniversaries. Like our first. Al was stationed in Colorado, and I was finishing up school in Kansas. So that anniversary was spent at the movie theater with 4 of my girlfriends. I still have the pictures.
#2 Al was in California. #3 we were moving to NC, so we literally passed eachother in the hallway just before our final inspection...pecked eachother on the lips and went about our business. Four, I do believe Al was at Phase 3. I got roses for that one....I do remember that. 5, he was in Thailand, me....Washington.
It was either 6 or 7 that we finally did get to spend together, but for the life of me I don't recall what we did. Pretty sure he was deployed to the PI both 8 and 9. Year 10 he was here and gave me his grandmothers sapphire. I bought him Oakleys that he left on a plane shortly thereafter. 11 and 12....back in the PI. Nice stint, huh!
So this morning Al called bright and early, just to be sure he was the first to voice the words "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY"!!!! Every year, every holiday, every occasion, this is our great competition. Who will be the first to wish the other a Happy so-and-so. I have to admit...he wins far more than I think is necessary. I'm betting on the day the man becomes senile & can't remember to utter the words first. On the other hand, it won't be much fun if he doesn't know why I'm rubbing it in his face. Damn double edged sword! Hehehe!
The kids made me breakfast in bed. Only it wasn't quite "in bed" because I chose this morning to be the morning that I decide to crawl out of bed before the striking of 10:00.
Our big plans for the day? Gonna do laundry, clean house, buy groceries, play a few board games, and maybe nap. K is taking me to Arin Krin tonight for dinner. That should be nice. Maybe I'll snap a few photos & post them for all to enjoy. Hope your day is golden. Much love to all!!

Happy anniversary my friend. Look at your celebration this way: most married couples plan a big romantic bash only to a. have a child get sick, b. have a babysitter get sick, or c. get in a fight with your significant other about something really intelligent like what color shirt you wore on your first date! So consider yourself lucky to have a few precious moments on the phone with Al, and then be whisked off on a fun evening with Ms.K herself. Have fun, I wish I was there going with you both, as I know you will have endless stories to tell. Talk to you soon.
Happy Anniversay!
