1 Year Down

Well, our first anniversary approaches.  This Sunday, in fact.  I can’t believe it’s been a whole year!  Lowell’s mom told us last night that the first year is the hardest.  As far as I’m concerned then, the rest of our lives should be a breeze!  This year was pretty darn good – sure, we had some squabbles, but they were normal we-‘re-still-adjusting type arguments.  

My friend Bob emailed me today to wish us well and asked if we went with paper or clocks.  Paper, of course, being the traditional first-anniversary gift, and clocks being the modern equivalent.  In a funny coincidence, we both got each other a clock or sorts – he bought me a watch, and I got him a metronome (he’s a musician).  I hadn’t even considered what tradition called for, so this was totally unplanned, but like many things in life, a happy accident.
