“Would you like to be considered a couple?”
So Friday, January 29th 2005 I said those romantic words, “Would you like to be considered a couple?” (I thought it was sooth at the time) to who is now my wife. Friday marked FIVE years of being a couple! To mark this memorable day Sarah did something amazing for me—a scavenger hunt. I got home early afternoon with a note on the door with the first clue that lead me to photo albums, books, and other items in the house that we have shared memories together. Every clue was perfectly thought out and extremely clever. My favorite was the clue “Our relationship truly is an ‘Active Job.’ And today marks the Beginning of It All.” I have a carefully structured organization system on the computer for my design jobs. All of my current design projects are in the folder “active jobs”. In the folder was a letter straight from her heart that—sappy I know—brought tears to my eyes. I truly am a lucky man.
And then I found…twenty bucks!
So remember back in college…when you were telling this really awesome story…except nobody else thought it was awesome…so you had to think of some flare…before you lost your whole audience…and the flare (and least in our circles) had to do with money? Remember? I do. And I’d like to tell you a story:
The other day James and I went for a run. It was so nice outside–like spring! Well, we’re running by the lake and see this guy taking pictures of something out there. It was an eagle! (Stop yawning.) He proceeded to show us all the photos he’d taken so far of said eagle and another sweet-looking bird. But we had to keep running. So we’re making our way to Owen’s (to return a Redbox dvd), and then…I found twenty bucks!
And no, I didn’t just say that to keep you entertained. I really did find $20!!! WHOA! See, this is why I always look down. I don’t remember much of the scenery in Argentina or Bolivia or Tennessee, but I sure do know their streets! I usually only find a quarter or so. $20, though; that’s the jackpot!!
Hope you liked my story!
