My parents got a phone call the other day to invite them to an anniversary party. My dad met this man a few years back, and he has done a lot of work for my parents. He is a great carpenter and he basically single handily remodeled my parents entire house. A few months ago he found out he had cancer. I don't recall what kind of cancer he has, but it's spreading fast. They have stopped chemo because it's no longer working. So anyway their anniversary is tomorrow. They will have been married 47 years. I know most people don't celebrate anniversaries other than their 25th and their 50th but why not? I know their neighbor is throwing them this party but it's kinda sad. I know they are doing a party this year because they are almost sure he won't make it much longer. So why do we only celebrate being married with a party twice? Chris and I will have been married 2 years this August. Why not throw a party then? Finding your soul mate should be reason enough to celebrate each year, heck these days you should probably celebrate every day. I never dated anyone besides Chris and when I met him I knew he was the one. 6 1/2 years after dating he proposed, and now this November we will have been together 10 years. I'm lucky to have found Chris. He is a terrific husband and the best dad I've ever met. He lets me decide everything, from what we eat to what we do. He never complains when I drag him shopping for something as simple as sunglasses. He will go yard-saling with me, he will wait patiently while I try on a million dresses only to leave the store empty handed. He's pretty much as close to perfect as you will find. So I think I think each anniversary I will celebrate a little more. You never know when it might be your last one. That's just my thought of the day.
Oh and one more thing, just because...I really hate it when someone tells me Corbin is spoiled. Ok maybe it was the way the lady said it, but whatever. Corbin is going to be spoiled and I know it, but I don't need anyone pointing it out. Ok I feel better now.
