It doesn’t’ seem like we have been together 28 years. We are proud that we’ve made our marriage last that long. And that it’s still a relationship of love rather than a relationship of convenience. I’m not sure what life would be like if we never had met; but I know it would not be as good as it has been. So happy anniversary to my wife. You will always be the one for me.

It’s late; but I wanted to wish all of the mothers out there a happy Mother’s Day.

The Boy is home and The Girl sent a card (which we received on Saturday) so California Girl heard from both kids. I’ve been working on a special project for California Girl that I think she appreciates; so I think it was a good day for her. And, of course, I called MY mom. If you are a mom, I hope you had a fabulous day too.

Had an occasion to do the Snoopy Dance because of something that happened at work.
Took a cool photograph of California Girl with the flowers she received at The Girl’s last senior night.

We reviewed the proofs of The Girl’s senior photographs and made our selections. It was a bit discomforting how rapidly her high school days were winding down.

February
Commemorated the fifth anniversary of MarriedInOhio.Com.
MarriedInOhio.Com went over 2,500,000 visitors.
Took some neat photographs for Two For Tuesday and Half Nekkid Thursday in the aftermath of a huge snowstorm we had.

The Girl had an epiphany and decided where she wanted to attend college. It hadn’t really started to sink in how different things were going to be without any kids around.
Decided to see if I could hold up a hat with no hands for Two For Tuesday.

Worked on a special project for California Girl that kept me busy in the evenings. We still found time for our weekly photo session.

April
Changed the image in the “About Us” area of our sidebar. We haven’t changed much wanted to create a new one since the photograph was many years old. We posted the candidates that we were considering for Half Nekkid Thursday.

Went on a 900 mile round road trip with The Girl for an out of state soccer tournament. Then two weeks later, watched The Girl win the last trophy of her club soccer career.

Celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary. Went out to eat at our favorite restaurant. Posted a photo from our anniversary dinner for Two For Tuesday.

The Girl graduated high school. Then the next day, she registered for classes in the fall and got her college ID.

The swimming pool is still where we retreat when things aren’t going as well as we would like in the real world.
For Half Nekkid Thursday we did a documentary of our bedcam setup.

Created and published our favorite HNT photo post of the year.
Practiced being empty nesters. Posted a NSFW tour of our home for Two For Tuesday culminating with a grand finale in the study for Half Nekkid Thursday.

Photographed and posted a lot of pictures of California Girl in a bikini showing her summer tan lines for Two For Tuesday and HNT.

August
Finally got an Android smartphone. California Girl got a Droid too. We should have upgraded years ago!
Installed a special, mobile friendly theme for Androids and iPhones.
Took both kids to school and officially became empty nesters. Posted about our first pizza night without kids for Two For Tuesday.

September
Posted some cool sexting photographs for Half Nekkid Thursday.

Watched The Girl play soccer at the next level in college. We’re not in Kansan any more, they play rough.
Got another new camera. Again took some NSFW photographs of ourselves to test it.

October
Discovered that I still own a hairbrush despite not needing to use one in years.
Went to Florida for vacation. Posted some photos from our trip for Two For Tuesday and Half Nekkid Thursday.

Added a new hard drive to the server. The old one was getting filled up since we have posted so many pictures over the years.

Took another “instant favorite” photograph of California Girl.
California Girl changed the color of her hair. Heather was the first person to notice.

Decorated the Christmas tree on the Saturday after Thanksgiving now that both kids are in school. Posted a NSFW Christmas card style photo for Two For Tuesday.

California Girl and I both got new glasses. We featured them in an artistic Two For Tuesday post.

MarriedInOhio.Com went over 3,000,000 visitors, a milestone we noted in our Christmas Wish Half Nekkid Thursday post. It’s definitely not 2005 anymore so we removed our hit counter widget.

We’ve parented two wonderful children; but we still have a fabulous time even when it’s just the two of us.  We ate dinner at our favorite “nice” restaurant on Saturday night and talked about twenty-two years.  We’ve definitely proved all of the naysayers wrong. And the best is still yet to come.

 Happy anniversary California Girl. Your are the finest woman I’ve ever met.

It’s getting late; but I wanted to wish all of the moms out there a happy Mother’s Day.

I made sure that both my mom and California Girl know how much that are appreciated. The Girl did not have a soccer game today which is a rare occurrence for a Sunday in May so I was able to visit my mom before it was got too late. The kids gave California Girl a nice card and bouquet of flowers and I did most of the chores. Except for going to the park to workout/run, California Girl was able stay around the house and relax. It was a very good day.

I am blessed to have met such a magnificent woman. After 26 years, she is as much a part of me as an arm or an internal organ. We generally focus on the present; but today is a good day to reflect on the past. It’s been an amazing what we have accomplished; especially considering the how little support we received from our families. I always marvel at how much California Girl believed in me both then and now. We’ve had our ups and downs; but I truly believe our relationship will be always and forever.

We’ll have our customary celebration this coming weekend; but I always like to commemorate the official day. California Girl you are and always will be my best friend.

I would like to wish California Girl as well as moms everywhere a happy Mother’s Day.

I just gave California Girl her “for my wife” card. And, as they have done on many occasions, the kids made California Girl a cake and one of their homemade cards. Plus, we wished my mom a happy Mother’s Day on the way home from The Girl’s soccer game. I cut the grass during the week (on one of the few occasions that it was not wet from the rain); but we still had somewhat of a busy weekend since The Girl had two games. Still, we got to sleep in late and have a relatively relaxing weekend. I know that Mother’s day is a “greeting card holiday”; but I still feel that it’s important to let California Girl, as well as my mom, know that they are appreciated.

We didn’t go anywhere on Saturday night because The Girl was going to a school dance. We didn’t mind staying in. In a couple of years she will be away in college and we’ll be able to go out whenever we want. And, since we were staying around the house, we took the opportunity to get nekkid and sweaty. I’m probably an incurable romantic; so I like to spend the day with California Girl even if we’re not going out on the town. I don’t have a three-day weekend; I’m one of the unlucky ones who has to work on tomorrow. Whether your weekend is ending or continuing through Monday, we hope it’s been great.

Here’s a photograph from last December that summarizes our weekend.
