15 Years: The Stats

Today is our 15 year anniversary. M. and I have been together since before she could legally drink. Imagine that.

Our fifteen year stats

Moved: five times.

Pets: five

Cars: four

Weddings: two

Honeymoons: none

Domestic Partnerships: one

DPOAs: One each

Jobs: about fifteen different ones between the two of us

Careers: four between the two of us

Full-series SIFF Passes: Once

Years we've planned to have a kid: fourteen

Fights: lots and lots

Laughter: countless

Television Appearances: One

Vacations: four

Experiences with fresh sperm in a syringe: approximately twenty four

Small boys we share our lives with: one

And about a million other things. It's a challenging thing to share your life with someone and I have to say that I managed to end up with the absolute best person I know. She's smart, intuitive, intentional, devoted and I'm honored to share my life with her.

I love my girl.

Happy Anniversary! I just want to tell you I've been "stalking" your blog since summer a year ago when I met you on fertility friend... my partner of 17 years and I were not successful in getting pregnant and stopped trying for awhile. Anyway, there are so many parallels in our lives. We live in Seattle. We are getting married at St. Mark's next weekend. We have shared career changes and fights and laughter and wishes for a child. It feels like we must know each other because we are about the same age and seem like we should be friends. But I had to come clean... I'm in love with Finn and I think you are both very brave and lovely people. As my father commented recently (on coming to our wedding), how can people like you be a threat to anyone? My feelings exactly. Maybe we'll bump into one another in town one day (I'll recognize you guys... unfair advantage, I guess) and I'll introduce us. We are the ex-Whole Foods gals (that was the first career for both of us). Have a beautiful day. Do you celebrate three anniversaries?

Karen - if you're in love with Finn, you certainly should meet him! Maybe we'll make it back to St. Mark's someday...after things stop imploding there. I miss that place sometimes.

I hope your wedding was lovely. It's a great place to get married.
