Our Anniversary

Today was our 4th anniversary. Unfortunately, both of us had to work. My husband works mornings, I work evenings, so we didn't get to spend much time together. We'll just celebrate this weekend.

We first met in high school in another town here in Alaska. He was a year ahead of me. I was a sophomore, he was a junior. A few months later, I went abroad for a year as an exchange student. While I was away, his family moved to Kansas. When I returned, they had moved back to Alaska, but to Anchorage, while I was still in another town. They eventually moved back to my town and we got back together. We dated for a couple more years and he broke it off in 1989, thinking I didn't love him anymore (which wasn't true). Over the years, I tried being nice to him, but he wasn't very sociable. So I eventually gave up. In 1995, out of the blue, he calls me. This time, he's very friendly. I was seeing someone else at the time, so we were just friends; we hung out together, ran errands together, went to the movies. You can see where this is going, can't you? Anyway, my then-boyfriend and I broke up over our friendship and a few months later my first ex-boyfriend and I were back together. Thas was October 1995. In February 1996, he proposed. We married a year and a half later.

A year and a half after that, we took physical custody of our 4-month old niece by his sister with plans to adopt her. Five months later, the adoption was final. Six days after that, I found out I was pregnant. We were trying anyway, so it came as no surprise. After an uneventful pregnancy, I gave birth to M in August 2000.

So that's where we're at now. We're planning another baby for late next year. Other future plans include purchasing a minivan and buying or building a house.

In other news today, a few people got into a huge fight at work. Over what, I don't know. Lots of hollering though.

In the process of our moving, I got a couple of huge bruises. One on my arm, just above the elbow and the other on my calf, just below the knee. I got the arm one by slamming it against the crib while holding a box and I have no idea how I got the one on my leg.

This weekend we have to move some more stuff to the new place. We've got until the 15th to be out of here. If I don't write an entry for a few days after this weekend, it's because the computer is being moved too. I'll probably pack up the scanner and printer tomorrow.
