Feeling Lucky
by Scott Hardie on March 17, 2009
Yesterday was my 13th anniversary of dating Kelly. We've been through many ups and downs together, and those downs have to do with why we're not married yet, but I love her as much now as I ever have. Here are 13 things that have been a part my life for less time than we've been dating:
- The Internet.
- My cousin Vanessa, who's now in middle school.
- Paying taxes.
- Manhood. (Get your mind out of the gutter!)
- A high school diploma.
- JonBenet Ramsey, Theodore Kaczynski, Dolly the sheep, and other news figures of 1996.
- Having a brother.
- Voting.
- Sony PlayStation.
- Not living under my parents' roof.
- Chinese buffets.
- Every friend I have, except Lori.
- Knowing what love is.

I really like this list! Certainly puts things in perspective. It definitely is a heartwarming thought that you've been in love with Kelly longer than with Chinese buffets. Is Vanessa the little one we met in Pittsburgh in 2000? (Zippy disk!)

I don't know why car companies insist on calling their products "vehicles" now. Apparently "cars" became a dirty word and I missed it. But if you're going to change the term, consider your marketing messages carefully: As a matter of fact, yes, I have heard about radar, sonar, and infared technology in vehicles, such as submarines, aircraft carriers, and helicopters.

You don't think about how much unnecessary stuff you own until you're paying someone by the hour to move it all. After Kelly and I moved into our new home last night, here's the current state of our living room, guest room, and garage. The house is a mess, and so are we. Go »Stepson
She hasn't come out and told me yet, but it seems pretty clear that my mom is engaged, or at least planning to get married to her boyfriend. I wish them both happiness, especially my mom after eleven solitary years as a widow. This is great news for both of them! Go »
