Happy and Sad

Yesterday was our 4th anniversary. Wow, it's been 4 years? 4 good years... love you honey. We had dinner at Reunion tower for our first, went on a cruise for our second, spent time apart for our third (I was on a business trip in Finland), ... and so what did we do this time?

Woke up as usual, went to work, I dedicated a post to him, he called me a few times during the day to say he loves me (which he does pretty much everyday, except maybe lower on the mushy scale), came home, had dinner, he studied (quiz today), I napped (just plain lazy), watched American Idol (I'm rooting for Paul Kim!!), not necessarily in that order, but more or less just an ordinary day. We're an "old married couple" already... maybe we'll go somewhere nice for dinner this weekend.

No plans for Valentines day either. I think we're conserving energy (and money) for our trip next month to.... Hawaii!! First trip there for both of us. These getaways are definitely more eventful to us than some arbitrary day marked for celebrating love. No offense to those who like to go all out on Feb 14th, but we have mini celebrations for our love every day. Ok, almost everyday... we're not perfect and there are times we get on each other's nerves, and on those days we only "tolerate" each other. But at the end of the day we know we still love each other deeply and dearly. Ok this post is getting too lovey dovey... let's talk about something else.

Big news today on the death of Anna Nicole Smith. She was only 39. Lots of questions and mystery surrounding her death, and what's gonna happen to her new born daughter? Who's the daddy? Who'll end up getting the money her late husband left her (of which she didn't see a single cent when she was alive)? Poor Anna, I don't think she can rest in peace anytime soon. I was really sad for some reason when I saw the news... I've always liked her, even though she appeared crazy and loopy, there's always a sense of genuine sweetness about her. A sincere and pure heart (or as pure as one can get in her kind of world).

Perhaps she reminds me... sometimes misunderstood (although not in the same way)... sometimes viewed as irresponsible and undependable... but we're trying very hard. We just can't meet everyone's expectations. We do things differently... but our behaviours are judged as unacceptable. However I'm much luckier. For one, I'm still alive. And I have found people who understand me, and even if at times they don't, they love me nonetheless.

Take care, Anna Nicole, hope peace will find you one of these days, sooner rather than later.

Valentine's Day doesn't mean much to my wife and I, either. Of course, with two kids our "celebrations of love" sometimes involve offering to give our oldest boy a bath or something. So romantic! Happy anniversary and happy planning for Hawaii.

We'll celebrate our 8th in a couple of months. We probably won't go on a big trip until our 10th (youngest kid will be 3 by then).

Thanks T-bone! Hope you had a romantic V-day giving your kids baths, or something... :)

Megan, so happy for you! Two girls are the best... but of course I'm biased. Actually, two healthy kids, regardless of gender, will be the best. Wishing you a smooth pregnancy and keep me updated!
