Reflections on an anniversary

Four years ago today, a Saturday, Mother Nature blessed us with a truly beautiful day. Historically, May 3rds in Wisconsin are unpredictable. You can experience cold, damp, gloomy days, and you can experience gloriously sunny and warm days that are harbingers of a coming summer. Our May 3rd four years ago was the latter. It was the day that the lovely Mrs. Jib and I planned to walk down the aisle and commit ourselves to each other for the rest of our lives. I still look back on that day with amazement for a lot of reasons, but for one in particular. Without going into detail, it was a difficult week for my family, most of whom lived 4 hours or more away. And our day did not go off without a hitch-in fact, there were several. Yet despite those facts, those few bad things that could ruin a wedding day, everything seemed to work out for the best. We were blessed that day, and I was blessed to have the lovely Mrs. Jib in my life. I like to think our wedding day is a microcosm for the rest of our lives. There will be bumps in the road from time to time, but we'll find the way to make the most of them. Thanks for a wonderful 4 years, babe, and here's to many, many more.
