Jordon and I were married 16 years ago tomorrow at the Hampton Free Methodist Church. Since then there has been some days were better and some that were worse but we are still together.
For our anniversary, I ordered Jordon a Veho MUVI X-Lapse motion time-lapse thingy from Staples. They told me it would be here on time but it won’t. Often these kind of mistakes are my fault but this one is on Staples so I am not that upset over it. That and Jordon knows it is going to be late so he is cool with it. I also got him a book about the downfall of Detroit.
Coming from Brandon, I had no idea the emotional attachment that people from Saskatoon have towards Detroit because their cable used to come from there. I had no idea that Jordon used to watch Detroit local news every night so I am sure he will like his book.
Believe it or not, Jordon made me my anniversary gift. I don’t get it until we go for dinner tomorrow so I will post some photos of it tomorrow. Jordon isn’t one to make gifts that much so I am fascinated to find out what it is about. What’s even weirder is that Mark thinks it is a cool gift which makes me wonder if there will be a rabid racoon or something jumping out at me. One never knows.
It’s been a long but good 16 years. Looking back I would never have gotten through my depression and working through this issues from growing up without Jordon being there, getting me help when I needed it and confronting me when I needed it. Jordon has been my biggest support and when I needed it, an honest critic over the years and I love him for it.
Looking back at a lifetime of pain and conflict with my family, I am not sure I would have made it if not for Jordon. I owe him a lot. He has given far more than he has gotten out of this marriage.
Tomorrow night him and I are heading out for dinner to a destination unknown. He is thinking Vietnamese but I could find myself enjoying the Konga Cafe. Then I get my gift. Please don’t let there be a rabid racoon…
