Today is our 15th Wedding Anniversary

It was a good day back then...

I still  feel so young, so happy, so lucky - I am all of those things.

May our friendship and trust

endure and strengthen

through the winter of our lives -

and may our love

be renewed

as surely as the blossoms

adorn the trees each spring -

may our understanding of each other

grow with our love

until the wonder of each night and day

becomes a lifetime

of happiness together -

A little bit of our vows, changed (just slightly) from an original poem by Nanushka (Nan Witcomb)

Traditionally 15 years bring gifts of crystal, so I bought my beloved this -

and because I think it will look prettier full of a gorgeous amber liquid; I bought him a bottle of 15 year old (of course) single malt whisky.

I didn't get any glasses... so I suggested perhaps we can just look at it, and smell it every so often - he says we are sure to find a way :)

But he bought me this!

It has a liquid crystal display..

Oh look out world I have a camera back in my hands!
