twenty nine and the glass is over half full

We've been married twenty nine months today.
We met a couple on our honeymoon who told us
they celebrate their anniversary every month,
even with something small.
We've tried to do that.
Sometimes we forget.
And sometimes we remember.

This was one that we remembered.
So to celebrate (a day early),
Brandon surprised me with date
to Ruth's Diner up the canyon.

It was as we were stuffing our faces with
deliciously fatty hamburgers, onion rings
and complimentary biscuits
that a smile came over my face.

Marriage is the greatest.
And even though its not always perfect
and we are far from perfect,
I'll take a sip of it
over and over and over again
because when it comes to
my viewpoint on marriage
the glass is well over half full.
