conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

five years

Five years ago today my wife and I had our first date. We went out for beers at the Hopleaf and waited for the snow to begin to fall. A lot has changed in the intervening years. I no longer go out for beers. When we first started dating I was not certain going to seminary. I thought I would be a professional singer again. She has held up her own through a lot. For these reasons and many, many more, this anniversary matters a great deal to me. Although I we both have to work today, tonight there will be candles and home cookin'. We need the down time.

She's as cute as a Bug
Short as a minute
She's a pretty little package with
Everything in it
I've said enough
To praise God above
I'm crazy in love
She's as cute as a Bug
-Lyle Lovett

So, happy First Date, babe. I promise to get my hair cut soon. Heh.
