I think of the odds against our meeting. What are the odds that the ICQ random chat button that you hit would come up with me? What if I hadn't had a funny tagline in my profile that caught your eye? What if you hadn't had the courage to cross an ocean for me, or if The Godfather hadn't been there to help you? The odds against us ever getting together mean we're statistically luckier than a PowerBall winner.

I think of the things we've faced. Family frictions, culture shock, enduring terrible solitude, relocating, hard pregnancies and health problems. The list of things that tried to break us apart is monstrous but we defeated or dealt with every one.

And then I think of the things we've built together. Trust, love, passion, friendship, a family, a home (and one freaking huge menagerie of pets). And that's when I thank you for the one hundred eighty nine million presents you've given me, because I treasure every moment with you like the gift that it is.

Happy Anniversary my Lovely Wife.

I'm betting money she leaves Jim for a better blogger by this time next year. :-P Any takers?

I'm deeply offended, Design. "Better blogger", indeed.

Heh.

Happy Anniversary, Jim! I love it when bloggers pour forth from their heart on how they fel about their spouse.

I think I'm going to be sick... how sappy can you be?

Garrett - you think THAT was sappy? You better not stop by my place without a trashcan nearby that you can lean over :-)
