How time flies

[greatbear]

Monday marked me and Jeff's 5 6 year anniversary. It seems like just yesterday that we 'tied the knot'. Jeff made a nice dinner and then we went out shopping, he got me a sleeveless down vest from L.L. Bean, I got him a red Ipod Nano from the new Apple store at the Columbia Mall. I got one for myself as well, we have a matching set. I know, how gay. Turns out I can get a bit of a discount from the Apple store because of where I work. Hmmm... those new MacBook Pros look mighty tasty...

Still waiting on replacement rims for the MINI. Wont be in till early November. Received the tires and wheels yesterday for the Stratus, those went on tonight. Lookin' sharp, gotta take pictures (as well as wash/wax the car). A set of Eibach springs and an Addco rear swaybar and the thing will show up some rather pricey sport sedans. I need to get back into heavy car tinkering soon, I miss the fun and getting my hands dirty. I've had a lot on my plate lately that took not only the time away from me, but most or all of the desire as well. It's still rough trying to make heads or tails of certain aspects of my life lately. I seem to do best when I fall back on my old routines whenever possible.

The anniversary was a nice reminder that the future can be brighter for me than my mind thinks it will be. I have to find my focus. Kodi has given both of us a chance to care for him and enjoy his antics, despite some housebreaking snafus. I just hope he and Jeff are around me for a long time to come.

Excellent! Congratulations!

So what did you wind up doing for the Mini rims?

[bearlover.livejournal.com]

Congrats. I can only hope for such an achievement.

Five years is a milestone.
Congrats on making it! Your gift choices really make me laugh--accomidating each other's differences is often what makes it work!
Best wishes to you both!!!

I read this comment and immediately thought of an old flashback to a scene involving "Fantasy Island" and Herve Villechaize.

Then I realized my mistake. *grin*

Congratulations on your anniversary. Here's to you and Jeff, and many more anniversaries to come!

I've known you guys just as long (not in the traditional way) God, remember the ole' gaycom days? I remember the first time I posted a pic of my chest and you said it looked like Paul Stanley! Bitch.

Anyway, inevitably, things happen that can put us into that "nothings gonna last" mode. Slowly, and surely though, the real life with hope and gratitude starts creeping back in. Stronger.

You turn around and realize just how damn blessed you are to have the people and comforts in your life you have, and even more fortunate to have known the ones that look down at us every day sweetie, and smile and guide us through all the madness.

Hugs to you both. And the new child. ;-)


Btw, my philosophy vis-a-vis commitments? Compromise, and never EVER stop saying "I Love You" to each other. And the most important thing? Be comfortable farting around each other in bed.

I met you and all these guys in those gay.com days! ;-)
