16 Years ago today

I married my best friend. He wasn't my best friend at the time, but he has become that in the intervening years.

I don't have 80s hair anymore, thankfully. My husband still looks almost the same. His hair is longer and his middle is thicker, but basically the same. (I love it and hate it at the same time.)

We exchanged gifts last night since we're leaving for our annual Gatlinburg trip tonight after work (and coming back home tomorrow--ugh. Next year, we are taking an extra day off).

He gave me a second Pandora bracelet with a charm and two spacers! And a mushy, perfect card. I got him a Shakespeare tee shirt. He's been wanting one for ages. It wasn't cheap, but wow, did I make out this year!

In other news, I turned one fest story over to the beta and wrote about half on another last night. Woot! I've decided that I don't have to write epic stories like some people I could mention (cough[livejournal.com profile] mundungus42cough), and that has freed my mind. :) So, Yay for short stories!

Not looking forward to the four hour drive tonight. If it hadn't been too late, I would have cancelled the hotel reservation and just stayed home.

See you on the other side of the weekend. :)

Happy anniversary!!! And have a wonderful trip!

If it helps, I'm really envious where you are on your fest story, because I'm looking at mine and thinking UGHHH WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG TO WRITE?? IT TOOK 2 SECONDS TO OUTLINE, WHY SO MANY WERDZEZ?? And I would love to be able to write short stories well. Most of mine are novellas squished down to 10K words or less...

Congratulations! Have a wonderful trip, even though it won't be long enough.

Got the story; should have it back by tomorrow night.
