it's our anniversary today and we've been celebrating two wonderful years of wedded bliss - by coming into work no less. we're also married to our careers, but that's an open type of marriage and not considered cheating. at least we got to sample a new restaurant called thai east wind. hue doesn't recommend the three flavor catfish (as one of the flavors is a not-so-pleasant fish flavor). susan's pick of tofu green curry was decent, but she's prefers the red curry. she was trying to be adventurous.
we have continued our tradition of writing a love letter to each other on our anniversary date. first we re-read last year's letter and then the current year. our notes are filled with words of kindness and dedication, trying to express the joy and heartache this year has brought. we are grateful for each other and look forward to many more years together. we are very fortunate.
our year 1 gift was paper, and we got each other tickets to universal studios. this year it's cotton, so we're doing a new mattress. we've been looking into tempurpedic and dux and pillowtops, trying to decide. solid sleep is a sound investment, but they all feel pretty good when they're new. we'll hold off on bringing it home until we move. we have our old bed in storage- no room for the old mattress.
we've been going with the 'traditional' gifts, as opposed to the 'modern' variety. otherwise, it would have been clocks and fine china, which don't sound particularly modern. and we're set with both.
now next year is leather, hmmm. can't wait.

Happy Anniversary Hue and Souix!!!!!
You both have been blessed to have found eachother. Best wishes for many more wonderful years.
I am going to be completely honest here and tell you that the main reason I am leaving this particular comment is that I absolutely cannot stand it when it says "1 comments" at the bottom. I will probably keep doing that, too if no one else "steps up," as they say. Call me nerdy, call me snobby, I don't care! It may be some kind of compulsion or other mental illness. !Eso es! (And, yes, it is driving me up the wall that the first ! is not up-side down, but at least I won't have to look at it again.)
While I'm here... Happy Anniverary. You two were made for each other! Hope you enjoy your very practical gift. Steve and I started off doing the same kind of thing, using the "traditional" list as a guide. On our third anniversary, Steve got us tickets to see Chicago, the musical, that is, since we'd be seeing some leather there... This year is our 12th, if you can believe it. (It is so funny to think of the blue dress you wore as my Maid of Honor, Sue. It is really dated.)
I don't even know what the 12 year traditional anniversary gift would be but I am kind of hoping that when I look it up, it will say "gasoline." That would fit in very nicely with our upcoming trip "back East!" Oh, and by the way, Steve found his wedding band this week in a file at work! Relief!
Wish you guys lived closer (read "here")- Hue, I'd bring you back some nice Magic Hat #9. We'll have to talk soon, I have some computer issues and questions for you.
See, isn't that much better? And, um, just as a favor, could you leave a comment on my latest post? There is only one so far...
