Anniversary
Thanks to those of you who wrote to wish Nikki and me a happy first anniversary. Both Nikki and I really appreciate it. We celebrated by going into Seattle and dining at the Space Needle ... an extremely expensive proposition, but worth it once a year, I think. I'd like to go back next year, but I think I'd like to go later at night when the whole city is lit up.
It's been quite a first year of wedded bliss. In some ways, it seems like we've been married forever ... I certainly don't dwell nostalgically on the vanished days of my bachelorhood! But it also seems like just a moment, which is a much more accurate feeling. I think we're still going through the "newlywed" phase ... we've never really had a serious argument (not an angry one, at any rate) and it's still all too easy to think of my wife as a perfect angel than a flawed human being. But that's ok ... our marriage will go on, and life will teach, and we'll come to the end of it more in love than we are now. With His help, anyway. God bless you all!
