4 Years

Today is my 4 year wedding anniversary. We've been together 8 years total. This time last year Spiderman and I were in the Bahamas. It's hard to imagine. SO much has changed. We always take a picture on our anniversary and some time I hope to gather them all and put them in an album so we can see the changes every year. This is last year's. I was very smiley after drinking nearly an entire bottle of champagne by myself.

I love champagne.

Happy Anniversary Baby. I love you!

Even Superhero's Drink Coffee

Guess what I bought today? Do these remind you of anything? My husband loves them.

Sports

Can I just say? I am NOT sporty. I am not coordinated. I do not run. I'm more of a watcher. Tonight we went to Spiderman's softball game. Here's his jersey. I am so glad that there were enough girls that showed up tonight.
See this girl? She's swell. Just for showing up. If they do not have an even number of men and women that show up, they forfeit the game. Spiderman is the coach and last year he forced me against my will to play in two games.
I would rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon. That's why I wore flip-flops. So that I couldn't be tricked once we got there.His team has kept it's unbeatable losing record. They have not won a game, ever. I think that's an accomplishment and they should be proud. If you're going to be bad, at least be the absolute worst!

Nostalgia Week--Happily Ever After

For my last post of Nostalgia Week, I thought I'd tell the story of how Spiderman and I met. I like to tell people that we were a blind date, or that he was my birthday present, but that's not exactly how it happened. It was a little more complicated than that. I had just ended a 4 1/2 year relationship and was devastated. Earlier that week I had found out that my "best friend" was now dating my ex on the same day that I received her Christmas Card in the mail. Nice. So when I was invited to my friend Rachelle's house for one of her notorious game parties I could use the cheering up. When I got there, her sister gave me a hug and asked did I know her brother-in-law? There stood Spiderman lookin' all cute. He was home from school for Christmas break and had just gotten out of a relationship himself. After looking at the matching grins of Rachelle and Jen I realized right away that this was a set-up. The evening went well and I found that Spiderman was not only a cutie, but extremely smart. (Huge turn-on for me.) Things didn't work out as he currently was away at school 6 hours away, and I just wasn't ready.
After almost two more years of some REALLY horrible blind dates it was my 25th birthday. My parents and several friends and I were all going out to a bar called Mighty Micks to celebrate. I wear what I call my "Birthday Tiara" every year and that was what Spiderman saw first when he came into the bar. He had been brought by Jen for me as a present as he had finally moved back into the area. He said "hey, um...you're wearing a tiara". (I know, you're totally swooning from the romance) Anyway...by the time Spiderman had gotten there I had been "celebrating" for a few hours already on an almost empty stomach. Apparently I'm very charming when I'm intoxicated and wearing a tiara because he agreed to go out on a date a few weeks later. We went to see a movie and hung out after in a nearby BW3's. He's extremely sarcastic with a dry wit and for several hours I couldn't tell if he was a huge asshole or really funny. I decided on the latter. Within two months he had moved in and 3 years later we were married.
Here is the first picture taken of us. It was at a friend of mine's wedding. I love this picture and have a framed copy on my dresser next to our wedding picture.

Happy Birthday Spiderman!

What I wanted to post was a cute picture of my husband on his 29th Birthday....Unfortunately, he does NOT want his picture on my blog...something to do with an unflattering picture of him, and our niece and nephew eating chicken nuggets....whatever.
So this will have to do.

Happy Birthday, baby.

I love you. (even though you won't be on my blog)
