Anniversary

by

I set up some pictures…Which was our anniversary day. As you can see, it was pretty normal…which we like. Yeah, a trip would have been nice.
partial_20view_20from_20Windsor.jpgThis time last year we were in Gatlinburg being tourist. We had a third story balcony room in a chalet with a hot tub. No one could see us…or what we were up too. It was nice. Watching the storm of the year come through the smokies while setting in the hot tub was unbelievable. Also, being tourist geeks and getting air brushed t-shirts and old timey photos rocked as well.
But this year brings change. Sarah is about ready to take a pear knife to her belly and get Tony out. I’m trying to finish up a set for local Arts School before the water breaks. Jack had 2 football games this weekend. Travel is not an option.
But I had a great weekend. I love just spending time with my wife. Jack was at his mom’s, so after the games and some work Saturday, I spent the rest of the weekend with Sarah.
Guys, I hope your wife is the first person on your list that you want to spend time with. Not because you feel like you have to, but because you want to. Not in that “I can’t breath without you” way. Sarah and I have little tiffs…usually about my driving…but we usually just enjoy each other. That’s paramount. If you lost it with your wife, make that your priority.

Recall that secret place. You’ve been there, you remember: That special place where once- Just once- in your crowded sunlit lifetime, you hid away in shadow from the tyranny of time….

Yeah that’s from a musical…cause I’m gay.

Anyway, We had a great day…just being us…cause as it turns out, that’s who we fell in love with.

About Sympathy Pain

The "Sympathy Pain" blog is a father's view of what is generally viewed as "woman only" territory, pregnancy. The blog also looks into the blended family and how a new addition affects that family. "Sympathy Pain" is not a battle of the sexes sight, but rather, an open forum for moms and dads.
