Bromance leaps into unchartered territory...

Happy 4th anniversary!

Seth and I celebrated our 4th anniversary with flair this year...see picture, left.

Let's take a walk through anniversaries past. On our wedding day, Todd [the left ass in this picture], Seth's BFF, was the one to declare us husband and wife. It was a beautiful moment on our perfect wedding day.

On our 1st anniversary, Seth and I returned to the place of our reception, 5/3 ballpark, and took in a game after a nice dinner and some...ok many...cocktails. Followed by additional beers at a local watering hole.

On our 2nd anniversary, we were in Ohio, on Burger Family Vacation. During the day, all of the Burger girls were pampered with massages, and Seth arranged to have a bouquet waiting for me at the spa. That night, Seth and I drove into town to catch the All Star game and have some cocktails. And then we returned to the vacation house and continued with libations and laughing, in the hot-tub, until dawn.

On our 3rd anniversary, Seth talked me into going to see this Star Wars special. With Todd. Technically, it was the symphony, but it was combined with a weird and gaudy giant movie screen showing scenes from the films. And it was emceed by a guy who played either R2D2 or one of those other metal looking guys, I don't know for sure. And, after a particularly gutsy symphonic performance, Todd shot up out of his seat and yelled out "Fuck yeah!" amidst all of the children and many black tie bedecked patrons. One year later, I continue to be thankful that I had enjoyed several cocktails prior to the event.

And on our 4th anniversary***, the movie "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was released. So I invited myself to go with Seth and Todd to the midnight showing, on our anniversary, because there was no way Seth was going to not go at midnight.

On the afternoon of our anniversary, pre-midnight movie, Seth and Todd enjoyed a nice lunch together. Followed by a trip to the parlor. The tattoo parlor. Where they each got a new tattoo. A new matching tattoo. Of the Deathly Hallows. Matching Harry Potter Deathly Hallow TRAMP STAMPS. A permanent indication and declaration of their bromance. On our 4th anniversary.


***I will note the following:
1. Seth wrote me a really great poem and read it to me aloud. Which is quite romantic, I think.
2. Seth took me to dinner at a restaurant we discovered when I was pregnant. Awful service and great food.
3. Before the movie, Seth went with me to Costco, and he hates Costco. That's love.
4. Seth secured a reliable babysitter. I'll give you one guess who that was...
