November 8th will be our third wedding anniversary! Three years! Who would have ever thought that that I could get a woman, a real live woman, who possesses both the ability to hear AND see, to stay with me for three whole years! And that is just the length of time that we’ve been married. I think we dated for 4 years (on and off) before we got married.

You know what’s great about the third anniversary? There are two types of gifts that correspond with the third wedding anniversary: the traditional and the modern. If you don’t want to click those links, here’s the Cliff’s Notes version of them: the traditional third wedding anniversary gift is leather, and the modern is crystal. Now being the technology minded kind of person that I am, I would generally go with anything labeled “modern”.

Not this time! What says “Baby, I’ve missed you so much since we’ve been away from each” other more than leather?! My isn’t getting a wallet or belt, she’s getting something we can all enjoy…well, something I can enjoy…

Hm, that’s probably a little too much information for all of you. I hope neither of our parents reads this. In fact, if you know me, just pretend I didn’t write any of this and also that you didn’t actually read it.

Now since it is officially Saturday, I can very, very happily say that I get to see my gorgeous wife in one week! Just seven more days and I get to see my wife and son. They must both be really excited! Haha. I’m really excited. I will be able to see and touch my wife and be able to pick up and toss around my son. I am so ready to go back home and see them! I hope my house sells soon…this whole being apart from my family is the absolute worst part of my otherwise cool new job.
