Becky and I have been married for five years now. There are days when I can't believe it has been that long because the past five years have flown by, but then there are days when it feels like it's been longer than that because I'm so used to being married.
On our anniversary I was able to finally unveil a movie of our wedding that was a clandestine project I had been working on for six weeks. It was a pain to incorporate the video, which we only have in VHS format, and a bigger pain to keep this secret for so long. For my gift Becky ordered a sign saying "The Hovenkotters" to hang in the front of our house, which I've been saying that I wanted ever since we bought our new place.
People often say "congratulations" to you on your anniversary, which has always seemed odd to me. What kind of accomplishment is it to make it to an anniversary, aside from managing not to get divorced? Isn't that the equivalent of congratulating someone on their birthday because they aren't dead yet? I suppose the congratulations is for having made such an excellent choice in marrying someone who obviously was a good long term fit, which Becky and I definitely are.
