Not really what this blog is about… and yet it’s everything!
There would be no blog, no house, no life like ours, if we didn’t have each other.
After 22 years… I’m glad you didn’t throw me under the bus!
Thanks Kim! I swear I should be thinking about how happy I am he’s put up with me for 22 years… but all I can think about our wooden glove forms! (is that wrong?) LOL
Amen, mister! The sign of one tough bond! I know many who take that on and don’t make it out in one piece. Thankfully we’re still hanging on. Oh course the master bathroom is next… so there could be trouble in paradise soon. I’ll keep you posted. HA HA HA!
Back to work, indeed. We don’t know what else to do. :-)
HAHAHAHA! On a side note I was totally thinking when you wrote I know this isn’t a blog about this (aka the anniversary) but it is!! It’s your blog b/c you do live in the home. Therefore it can also evolve to be about the individuals that live there. You know, blogs evolve. I wonder where I read that before? *whistles*
I believe some wise woman said that once. Her wisdom echoes through the valley and all who flock to read her words now live by them. True story… I’m proof! LOL
Congrats and Happy Anniversary!! We are getting ready to celebrate 19 next week.
So my gift to you… a little story…
Over the weekend, we went out to celebrate and we had this exchange with our waitress who was old enough to know better. Well, she was older than me so…
Server: Which anniversary is this? No! Let me guess…
…3rd
Me: Awwww… you just made our day. No, it’s 19.
Server: Ha! It must be because of HIS baby face.
WTH?!…. HIS!! Niiiiice.
Cheers to sharing life with someone who gets you and you can grow old with. Wishing you both many more.
Blahhhh, ha ha ha! That’s a great story. I saw that picture of you in your glasses…. that woman was probably jealous that you looked so good!
Congrats on 19 years. I really consider this a serious accomplishment, as marriage (long term) is not something you have any idea about when you’re young. It’s sounds dreamy and “movie like”… but it’s more like an E-tv True Hollywood Story. Oh the drama!
Oh, he gets me… more than I get myself. It’s maddening! I’m afraid we’re stuck with each other. When I was thinking about getting married I remember my grandmother asking me “can you imagine your life without him”? If the answer is no… then you better marry him. So I did… and knew it would never be dull.
And boy was I right!
You have one smart grandma! Congrats again. I’d tell you I hope he gets you jewelry, but he did build you a bed TWICE, so I guess he did good already. :)
This is the cutest thing ever – congrats! Whenever I wish anyone a happy anniversary, I always think of the song/gift Fred gave Wilma on the Flintstones.
Cel-e-brate good times, come on! Hope you are going to go out on the town for juice and jubilation…and perhaps score some more vintage swag on the trip to or fro…
Cool bus sign! Cool house! Cool couple! Cool blog. :)
Thanks! Richie, Kool and the Gang, and I celebrated by eating a sandwich and painting the outside of the house! SEXY, I know! The gang spilled paint all over the sidewalk which wasn’t Kool… so we continued our celebrating without them. They were like…. “hey, everything’s gonna be alright” (ha ha ha!) okay,okay, I’ll stop.
I wish a cool gang of painter would show up for my anniversary… now that would be better than diamonds.
Oh that’s wonderful! Eight is a good number.. congratulations! Yes, time flies and the longer we’re married the faster it goes —- And so does my eye sight and his hearing… so we’re doing good!
I cannot tell a lie, especially to YOU. We ate a sandwich and painted the house. I’m sweaty, itching from mosquito bites, and I have paint all over me… but it was the best evening ever!!! We even cranked up some Ornette Coleman SUPER loud to piss off the neighbors… it was a giggle we both enjoyed! (simple shits!)
Brittney… you are too cool, girl. Thanks for that!

Awwwww, you make me smile!! I know it’s silly to post that… but honestly the man is a saint to put up with me. I’m sure there were times he wanted to not just throw me under the bus but in front of one. I can be difficult!
(gasp!.. what — no!)
He’s a good guy… and he makes pretty beds. (ha ha!) It’s been a fun 22. Thanks Tamara!
Pretty happy day, my friend. We tried really hard not to yell at each other all day. (it was torture!) Ha Ha Ha! kidding.
Seriously, thanks for the wishes…. 22 is 2 good numbers together to make lots of good years. He’s fun!
I am really happy for you. You are one of the nicest boggers in all of WordPress! I am thinking that your creativity with your home must spill over into your creativity with your relationship as well.
That is the nicest comment I’ve ever received! You made me blush and smile. Thanks so much. Our relationship is hummm…. very…. creative. I have to come up with creative ways to stay sane and not kill him. Ha Ha Ha! I’m no picnic so he’s a saint. We have fun… always. Thank you for this!!
Happy Anniversary!
So sweet! Thanks for that.
Happy anniversary!!!
Thank you, Jayne! It’s definitely been happy today and every day. (okay, … most days… but not EVERY day) HA HA HA!!!
That’s beautiful! Happy Anniversary to both of you!
Cheers!
You have been super sweet to me this week. Thank you so much!!!! I love your comments and always glad to have you visit. :-)
You’re welcome! I really enjoy your blog and often refer my friends to it. I love architecture & home design. Your renovation project is inspiring!
Take care!
Awww, Happy Anniversary to you guys! I hope you have great one!
Thanks Kim! I swear I should be thinking about how happy I am he’s put up with me for 22 years… but all I can think about our wooden glove forms! (is that wrong?) LOL
Haha, no I completely understand! :)
You know it’s true love if you can renovate a house and still stay married. All the best! Now, back to work!
Amen, mister! The sign of one tough bond! I know many who take that on and don’t make it out in one piece. Thankfully we’re still hanging on. Oh course the master bathroom is next… so there could be trouble in paradise soon. I’ll keep you posted. HA HA HA!

Happy Anniversary! :) :)
Thanks Alex! Can you whip us up an anniversary cake with fondant, please?
(giggle)

WOW! 22 years! That’s so wonderful! Happy Anniversary!
Thank you Lindsey! It’s been a great day.
adorable and so sweet and humorous! How are you celebrating? Taking a bus somewhere? :)
Thank you, Meghan! After 22 years we just acknowledge the day with one of those smiles that says “we made it” … and nobody is in jail yet. (giggle)
haha, you are too cute! I hope I make it to 22 years :) We’ll focus on year 2 for now…haha

Aww! Congratulations!

LOVE!!! That sign!!! Hope your day is fantastic. A quiet evening, good wine, and a good restaurant (or takeout!). And NO sod. Or hammers.
We are 8 next week. Time flies…
