Greetings Earthlings!

My wife and best friend is celebrating the anniversary of her 20th birthday... which one I will not say under pain of death.

Love you more every year.

Happy Birthday!

Ann & I went out to get a bite to eat at Applebee's tonight. I think it is the forst time we have eaten out in over a month. I had the Sizzling Chicken Skillet from the Weight Watchers menu and Ann had her usual.... fajitas. I am not sure why she even looks at the menu when we go there. :-)

But in the way home we stopped at The Place of DVD Evil, known to the rest of the world as Best Buy. We were poking around the new releases and she said "Go ahead I know you want to." She was gesturing at the general release version of Battlestar Galactica. Not being a fool I grabbed it and sprinted for the checkout counter before she could think better of it. I think I trampled a senior citizen on my way there.

Then when we got into the car again she just looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes and said "I love you. You geeky man." Now usually that is a prelude to needing me to do some laundry or some other household task (just kidding sweetheart), but this time she told me how much she adored me and was glad that we got married.

Now I just want to say I love you too, Ann. I couldnt be any luckier than to have you with me and I hope we are as happy for the rest of ours lives as we we are right now.

Now onto the DVDs...

The BSG DVDs come in a slip case and the individual DVDs are in thin cases (like the Firefly DVD set), which I like a lot. All the episodes and the mini-series have commentary except: Water, Litmus, Six Degrees of Separation, and Flesh & Bone, Which means I have many hours of watching and re-watching to do. YAY! It also looks like the discs have a play all option for the episodes which is another big plus for me.

I just wonder why every cover for BSG things has Six looking like she is about to shoot eyebeams out of her eyes. She is by far the least interesting part of the series for me. Oh well I am off to my geekfest!!

EDIT: BTW anyone that is interested I have a copy of the BSG miniseries on DVD that is looking for a good home now. For sale or trade!

It was 12 years ago today that Ann & I were on our way to Wisconsin to Ann's hometown of Stevens Point (home of Point Beer) to get married. It was a whacky week of In Laws and drinking too much the night before the rehearsal dinner. Ann's midnight phone call the night before the wedding asking if we had to get married and just couldnt live together for the rest of our lives.

As to the ceremony itself I really dont remember much. The last thing I really remember of it is Ann walking into the church. After that I remember kneel, stand, kneel, stand of what is a full Mass Catholic Wedding.

Watching the wedding video is interesting because its like watching something that happened to someone else. I will comment on how large my eyes got when I first saw Ann walk in. My best man Mike thought I was going to bolt for the door for a second.

I can honestly say Ann is the best thing that ever happened to me. I make a LOT of jokes about being married, but I would be lost without her. The vows say "for better or for worse" and there has been a lot of both, but with Ann the worse dosent seem that bad.

I love you, kiddo.

EDIT: BTW to avoid confusion our anniversary is Sunday.

Should I be afraid that the Disney character my wife identifies with most is Stitch? With as much that she is playing Knights of the Old Republic I have visions of Darth Stitch.
