Things That Matter

[ClingingToHope]

I've cycled through everything once now so I'm hoping this year won't be as emotional. Of course, I don't have a D date yet. That'll be another date to "celebrate" I guess.

Next year would be our 15th anniversary and we'd talked once about going to Vegas again. We went on our 10th.

Hey, maybe I take them to Vegas. It's warm enough to swim and they have enough kid stuff for a couple of days. And if I really, really, really have to gamble I can sneak out after midnight and play cards for a couple of hours.

That would replace the first Vegas trip.

I just looked at the calendar. The anniversary is on a Wednesday, which is usually my night with the girls anyway even if we don't go somewhere. There's lots of options.

Kat, the un-anniversary party is a good idea. I read a book that suggested some kind of "end of marriage ceremony." Something like taking all of the old photos and putting it in a box and burying it or burning it.
