today is our 2nd wedding anniversary!
our 'cotton anniversary' according to tradition :)
this evening after my shift at the hospital, we're going to woodenheads for supper and in a few weeks we're going to see muchado about nothing with jill in stratford.
we both feel pretty fortunate and grateful for the last two years. it's been a pretty enriching experience. it's crazy to think we bought a house this year, it was quite unexpected. i think it's fair to say that both our first year or marriage and our second year were very full and very significant times for us. i know it won't always be this way, there will probably be years down the road when nothing particularly noteworthy happens, but that just makes these first two years so special.
it's funny, even though two full years have passed since our wedding, i still feel relieved that wedding planning is behind us. i wonder if that feeling will ever go away. i kind of doubt it.
before we got married we decided to start a brendan+lesley journal that we'll write in every year around the time of our anniversary. kind of like a written time capsule that we'll be able to read in 50 years. i updated my portion last night. in hindsight, i didn't write enough about our house, but just gave it a quick mention. i wish i'd written about it when we first bought it, because it was a big deal at the time, and now i've grown accustomed to it. anyways, the interesting thing about being about to see our relationship written in ink is that there's a noticable difference between now and then. i like watching the maturing and the development. it's almost embarrassing to read old entries. i'd forgotten a couple things and other things were a struggle then but are not now. that's the thing about writing, when you read it later, it seem just as real as when it was written.
anyways, it's been a real adventure, i'm excited about this next year too! we're going to costa rica in july+august, we're hoping to go to greece+turkey next spring, and brendan will graduate from college and start looking for work. looks like it will another interesting year! i'm super grateful that brendan is my partner. i had another dream last night that for some reason brendan and i couldn't be together and it was super crappy (usually i dream that i'm being forced to marry someone else, but it was something else last night). i'm glad it was just a dream. when we had pre-martial counselling with devona, she told us "marriage is just companionship with a bit of sex thrown in". i'm super thankful that brendan is my companion.
