...with an anniversary. Yes, folks, Drew and I have been married for 15 years as of yesterday. Here's a look at the Lednicer/DeSilver balance sheet:
8 residences
7 cities
6 employers
5 bikes
4 cars
3 overseas vacations
2 fellowships
1 career change
1 book
1 adorable little girl who is a way better gift than either of us deserve
We watched fireworks yesterday night as we were driving home from dinner. (Drew was driving because I'd had one too many Lemon Drops). One of the nice things about living in Portland, as he remarked, is that if you pull your car to the side of the road where a parking space doesn't exist, a cop isn't gonna come and bug you if there are fireworks going off.
We spied a couple with a "Just Married" sign on their windshield. I knocked on the window, the bride rolled it down and I said, "We're celebrating 15 years today!" She looked a little put out, so I quickly left.
When we got home, Liz the babysitter said some nice things about Rachel. She wants the same books read to her that Liz's kindergarten students listen to. "You must have been reading to her for a long time," Liz said. As we were heading to dinner Rachel got very clingy, but Liz said that as soon as we left Rachel said, "I'm glad you're here; I don't mind that Mommy and Daddy left." Relief!
