Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for their good wishes on our anniversary; much appreciated!

I do have to clear up one misconception. April 1 was the day Steve and I merged our households; November is when we'll celebrate the 29th anniversary of Doing the Legal. We acknowledge several anniversaries throughout the year. In part, this is a freelance's coping mechanism; surely we'll have enough money to celebrate one anniversary, and in a good year, all the anniversaries!

This year, the 31st Year of the Merger was celebrated with a tasty Chinese dinner at the Lucky Panda.

Rainy old day here in Maine. I sure could use some sunshine...

I'm impressed that you can remember all the dates! I don't remember exact dates any more (and I'm not even that old). The only dates I can remember at this point are the date we got legally hitched and the date we exchanged vows (they were two days apart). No one seems to care about those other dates (when we started dating and when we moved in together).

All this is to say, yay for anniversaries and yay for celebrating them! I'm always happy to hear about long term relationships that are thriving. It is a real inspiration for me.

Staying together for that time and neither having killed the other yet is worth celebrating in my opinion, whether it was a Legal Thing(tm) or not. Of course, I also agree about the excuse for having lots of celebrations in the year, more celebrations are a Good Thing(tm). I have a friend who has almost every day labelled as a "Day" to celebrate something, however obscure.

Celebrations for any reason are wonderful -- ones that are built around the stages of your life are better than wonderful.

Mom and Dad (who were married 55 years before Dad died) celebrated the day they met, the day of their first kiss, the day of their engagement and the day of their wedding, etc, etc, etc. A fine tradition that taught the kids that life in general is meant to be celebrated.

royalcrown and I have a very similar tradition, under the theory that the Navy's bound to let him be home for one of them! So far we've been right.

I can understand the multiple anniversary thing - my wife & I do something similar.

Any reason for a celebration is to be celebrated.

Belated congrats! Celebrate every and all the occassions you can think, even if it's only a take out dinner - eaten by candle light!

The time will come for the 'if onlys' and 'what ifs' later.
