Happy. Anniversary.
G. Grod and I married one another ten years ago on Friday, on the fifty-somethingth floor of a building in downtown Philadelphia named after a bank that no longer exists. Our family and friends helped us marry one another, and it was a lovely evening.
To celebrate, my sister Sydney is working overtime, and flew my parents out to watch 5yo Drake and 2.5yo Guppy so G. and I could drive up to Grand Marais, on the north shore of MN on Lake Superior. G and I have walked, shopped, napped, eaten very well, read a lot, and enjoyed each others’ company. We watched the sun rise over the lake this morning. I feel very happy, and grateful, this morning.
(I’m reading Dostoevsky for my book group. It is not an ironic commentary on marriage. At least, not intentionally. Heh. G. is reading Infinite Jest. Interpret as you will.)

I got a little teary eyed reading this. It WASa very special day and a beautiful, unique wedding. Can’t believe it has been 10 years. I am so glad you found each other in Philly, that you love each other and brought into the world 2 of my 3 amazing nephews. Thank you for all of the above.
I will never forget when you came to Nashville to visit me the weekend after you met G. You were so smitten. Ahhhh, love…
