Three Years

We celebrated our third wedding anniversary this Wednesday. Grandma watched the girls overnight and we had an evening on the town. Just two crazy kids in love on a date--except that we were both tired by 9:30 and called it an evening just after 10.

If there is anything I've learned as a divorce attorney it is that the person you marry can make your life very wonderful or very miserable. I am lucky to have the wonderful kind, and even luckier to realize how good it truly is.

That being said, we spent some time reflecting over the past year and made our "Next Year Marriage Resolution," which is sort of like a "New Year's Resolution" for your marriage. We talked about how we could make the next year better; what we need to do less of, and more of, and even--not at all; how to make the girls happier, focused on our goals, that sort of thing.

We also ate lots of good food and found some new places to take out-of-town guests. Andre, forever the foodie, had to have these donut holes from a new restaurant named Parkside. I have to admit, they are amazingly good for donuts.

Gift-wise, we forgo the suggested 3rd year anniversary gift of "crystal or glass," and instead opted for a new dish washer. Clean dishes really are romantic; or at least dirty dishes are very much not romantic.

All in all it was a great anniversary.
