Happy anniversary

Category: Just Me


A few years ago, I remember receiving a package from my mother-in-law.  Wondering why she was sending us a gift, I suddenly realized it was our wedding anniversary -- the day before. I called Paul at work to wish him a happy anniversary. We both laughed, blaming our absentmindedness on having a not-sleeping-through-the-night infant.

But really it was us. Paul and I have a mental block about our marriage date. We know the month, but the date and year continue to baffle us. I have no explanation, but am glad we both have anniversary amnesia instead of just one of us.

Before I started writing this, I wrote my guess at our wedding date on a scrap piece of paper. Pulling out the marriage certificate, I see I was a day and a year off. After almost 12 years of marriage, seems I'm getting better at remembering it. Not.
