Our day. Updated
February 13, 2008We had a lovely lunch. It was far too cold to stay long.
A bunch of great pictures were taken.
See them on flickr…

Jan at the Tennessee River Coolidge park.
I love this picture so much.

Happy anniversary to the woman who knows the absolute
best and worst of me and still drives to this house each day
after work. It is a choice each day for her. For us all.
Do we point our cars where we have a home and a life with
others, or venture out for something new, different.
Perhaps even more exciting than the mundane
day to day of life. And are both not possible in one lifetime?
She calls each day as she turns into the park that leads
her home to me. “I’m on my way, do we need anything?”
“No, just you home with us. Come home, be careful”.
It is my daily reply. It is that simple really.
We are taking the day off, lunch and arts…
She is doing this for me. It isn’t really her thing.
More proof that she is amazing.
I love you Jan.
I have since the day we met.
You both terrify and excite.
Nine years people!
My fear that I was a 7 year itch kinda girl…
now shot to hell.
Interesting Piece Huh? Two moms and a child?
Three gender neutral figures?
I love it.
Jan bought me a pair of pants for our anniversary.
It seems an unromantic gift until you look at the reason.
I have lost 56 pounds to date and was still wearing size
20 and 22 pants. She bought an 18. I laughed and thanked
her for her confidence in me. I was sure I could wear them
soon. She made me put them on.
I am wearing them in the picture above.
They are not tight. Amazing.
Simply fricking amazing!
It did more for my self esteem than anything
has in a while. Romantic indeed.
love you all.
Take the time to celebrate what you have and honor your years together. It’s important to remember.
I always wondered if I was a seven-year itch girl since my longest relationship was nine whole months before I met Derwood. Of course, I was still just a kid when I met him. It still blows my mind though that we’ve been together for twenty years. It’s weird. Good weird, but weird nonetheless.
Happy Anniversary and may you celebrate many, many more with the same love and respect with which you celebrate this one.
Wow, what a beautiful post. Reminds me much of my relationship. She calls right before she leaves from work, asks what we need, and I always tell her to drive safe… This warmed my heart today…
Anyway, congratulations on the weight loss and feeling good about yourself!!! I’m in the process myself and it is HARD, but when you see the results in a lower pant size, it’s totally worth holding off on seconds, right?
It’s all how a woman carries herself too!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I’m not sure how good I feel about myself on any given day. But the realization that I am doing a disservice to myself by not wearing properly fitting clothes is there. You can see that my coat is huge, another way I hide is large denim shirts. I say they are work shirts. A way not to soil every shirt I own in the stuff I create with, but the truth is, they cover me.
Thanks for being brave and commenting!
Thanks Jaded and Rox, Rox, I’m pretty sure you can stop worrying!
