They said we wouldn't make it this far. No one gave us a chance. But last night Kate and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. (No one actually said we wouldn't make, but it makes me feel more like a champ.)
I say "celebrated" because our anniversary was actually September 12th. With traveling and PartnerCon we simply didn't have a chance to go on a date until last night.
The festivities took place in downtown SLO. We started by painting pottery while eating sushi. Kate painted herself a ceramic watering can.
After the pottery employee kicked us out early (don't get me started), we walked around town searching for new winter beanies (I heard it's getting colder back in Bend). The search was unsuccessful but Kate managed to find some other duds at BR.
We capped the evening off by doing what husbands and wives do when they love each other very much ... we ate over-sized desserts at Giuseppe's. It was a fun night and I'm blessed to have such a great wife.
Here's an interesting fact: not only was Sept 12th my anniversary and PartnerCon kickoff day, but it was also "Conception Day" in Russia. In the Ulyanovsk region, married couples are given the day off of work to make babies.
A grand day indeed.
