I Can’t Wait For the Next 17

I will be offline today.

Tomorrow, I will be back on to finalize that avatar vote and also talk about the conference I was at last week. But…

Today is our anniversary.

Today is #17. I thought t would be neat to figure out what gemstone matches up for the 17th year. There is none. I am supposed to get here a watch. Dead serious. The gemstone for the 17th year is…a watch. Weird.

Today we are doing nothing. I’ve taken the day off. The kids have arrangements to spend the day and night with friends. We have no plans, except to hang out together, eat together, go to coffee together and maybe a little shopping for her :)

I love my wife so much. She has been a blessing from God that I could never have imagined or wished for. She is greater than what I want, she is what I need. Thank you God for the amazing partner you’ve given me.

17 has gone so fast! But I remember every moment of it. The ups and downs. And all of it has been brilliant. I adore her and thankfully she adores me. I’ll never let that go!

Be back tomorrow, but today, she has every bit of my attention.

Tammy, I love you. I can’t wait for the next 17!

    Hey, congratulations on 17 years, buddy.

    But what impresses me all the more is the title of your blog: “I Can’t Wait For The Next 17…”

    Too cool!

    Congrats you two!!! And I know this is TOTALLY superficial, but I need to know what color is on Tammy’s hair! It’s electrifying!!

    … grease is the word (please note the musical reference – or else that seems rude, random, or both.
