one year

yesterday erk and i celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary
we each took each other to a place the other had never been
exchanged cards
and acknowledged that our lives had changed dramatically in the three and a half years we have been together.
but no change has been as dramatic as the one that will take place in roughly four and a half weeks from now.

as i flipped through the "first" first anniversary gift i gave erk (when we were dating) i found a note in the front. the gift was a cook book entitled "the soup bible" and i had drawn an analogy between our relationship and a good soup - that the contrasting flavors created something delicious and that the longer the soup cooked for, the better the soup became.

here's to many more years and cooking projects; both literal and metaphorical.
