Seven years


When I was 17, I distinctly remember vowing never to get married. I envisioned myself as some kind of Emily Dickinson-like poet-hermit, though I did plan on eventually adopting a Burmese orphan and naming her Cassandra Jane. A year after deciding these things, I met Rob. How differently my life has turned out.

To commemorate our 7 year anniversary, here is a small selection of a list I am making entitled “1000 Reasons Why I Love Rob”:

2. You fixed my coffee grinder with duct tape.
9. You knitted me a scarf in January of your sophomore year.
30. You gave me “bitch” socks.
94. You played racquetball with Garber.
135. You look really good in your cycling gear.
162. You learned to like oatmeal.
163. Conny thinks you’re delicate.
175. You ran the last 9 miles of the Run for the Ranch Marathon with me when I felt terrible.
177. You made my blog into a book.


Happy anniversary, RB!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and Rob!! I can't believe that was seven whole years ago. Including dating time, do you realize you have been together for more than a decade? Craziness!
P.S. I'm still in favor of a Burmese (or Nicaraguan) adoptee named Cassandra. My kids need some cousins.
