I think that David and I are doing a great job taking very good care of our relationship…  The year was very busy and full of events… but also really full of happy and important moments. See here if you need a review of what we did together…

This Friday January 16 was our first Anniversary! Despite the earring episode, it was all great!

Well… We went back to “our”  tree in Karst Farm Park around 5pm (I got the afternoon off work because I wasn’t feeling well), and climbed it (well, I asked myself many times why I had this idea, since it’s not easy at all for me to climb a tree…) but after a lot of frustration, and even tears, I MADE it!!!

:D

David and I reviewed our vows and our ceremony (I really liked it). It was very cold, but I guess with all the exercise I did to be able to get up the tree I was feeling fine. David was colder than me this time! We went to Dunn In, a new restaurant Downtown, and we had a pretty good dinner. It was there, after we ate, that I realized that I had just one earring… Yes, somehow one of the earrings that David gave me when he proposed to me in Portland was lost at some point in the day. Where? I don’t know… anywhere from the car, or my office, the tree, to Aldi (we were near by and decided to buy some food), or the restaurant. We did come back to all these places in the morning. Zero earrings found.

:(

Well, after a period of real sadness and frustration, I stopped crying and moved on. I asked David to try to find the same earrings in the store where he bought the pair. It’s in Portland and he is leaving there to visit Sue, Michael and Verl on Thursday, so quite convenient… I am not super confident they will have the same pair, but I will be fine anyway. (I guess)

What a coincidence that this earring decided to disappear exactly in our 1 year anniversary. Well, anyway, it became a story… Click in the image to see some pictures!

I made it!

I made it!

And life goes on! (Oh, yes, I got a new beautiful pair of blue earrings  – this time bought in Bloomington – with an additional butterfly for my third hole!)
