Oh the years

Grant and I have been together for a long time, 13 years to be exact.  We don't get away from the girls or work very often, but on this occasion we ran away for a quick dinner at Seasons 52 sans kids.  Grant was being so nice that he actually took me furniture shopping at West Elm, PB and Ballards without complaining.  That part of the evening may be better classified as a Christmas miracle.
After 13 years I can honestly say that Grant and I are not the same people we were when this all started.  I'd like to think that we are much better, well except for my skirt size.  Thankfully we are one of the couples who have grown together instead of apart as the years have passed.  I'm not even going out on a limb when I say that I love him more than I did when we married 9 years ago.  This is in spite of his reluctance to change the toilet paper roll.
Happy Anniversary to us!
