Happy Anniversary

Tomorrow is mine and Mark's 6th wedding anniversary. We are so in love. I have found the love of my life and I am so happy.

We met online. I had put a picture on a dating site and he wrote me the most beautiful e-mail. Normally, I wouldn't have answered his e-mail because he was shorter than me. But this e-mail was so great. I can't even remember what all it said but it was poetic and so nice. So, I e-mailed him back and the rest is history.

We got married September 3, 1999 at a Justice of the Peace with my parents, sister, brother, newphew, aunt and some of Mark's friends there. Sherryl, my sister stood up for me and Mark's friend Tom who works at the Houston VA and is in the reserves and has been over in Iraq but is back now, anyway, he stood up for Mark.

We honeymooned in San Antonio, TX and had a wonderful time. I think one of my fondest memories was when we got a yard glass of margarita to share and Mark got a little tipsy and very talkative!!! It was funny.

We also went to an Indian restaurant in San Antonio and Mark got something with curry in it and took one bite and almost passed out. That's how we know that Mark is allergic. I thought I was going to have to rush my new husband to the emergency room.

Anyway, for the next two years we went to San Antonio for our anniversaries. Then we just stayed in our area and had a great dinner and a movie.

Last year we went to New Orleans, almost a year to the day that Katrina hit. New Orleans is one of our favorite cities and it is really hard to see all of the devistation. Anyway, then we moved to Michigan shortly there after.

So, we are planning to go out to dinner tomorrow night and maybe to a movie. So, here is to many many more years of happiness. I love you Mark!
