Funnel and I celebrated our two-year wedding anniversary yesterday.

If you would have seen a glimpse of me yesterday afternoon on my way home from work, you would have thought it had to be the worst wedding anniversary ever. I was sad and crying and cursing at etsy sellers who do not get things (like anniversary presents) to people on time, and stupid corporate meanies (I used a different word in the heat of the moment) who try to foil your special plans.

But if you would have seen me at the end of the night, tired and happy, you would have thought it was the best anniversary ever (and it really was!)  The second Funnel walked in the door last night, everything was immediately better and all the silly things I was sad about melted away.  It was the best, most perfect night in recent memory.

Marriage has been very good to us these first two years.  I am grateful for how well we get along with each other, how much I am learning about him and from him, the fun we still have doing “nothing” together, and how often he makes me laugh.   

Last Tuesday, he was getting ready to leave for a four-night business trip and he kissed me goodbye with tears streaming down my face. I thought back to the many Sunday nights when we were dating that he would drive away from me, or I would drive away from him, with tears in my eyes. Some things never get easier.

There are so many things I am looking forward to in our future.  Buying a home together.  Our trip to Europe, which we have been dreaming about since we first starting dating.  Starting a family.  Seeing Funnel as an old man, with gray hairs and wrinkles.  How neat it will be to look back on my life and know it would be completely different had Funnel not come along and found me at the perfect time.  I know that whatever happens and whatever trials we may face, I am glad Funnel is here with me. 

I am looking forward to many more happy years together with my best friend.
