Anniversaries
I’m celebrating four anniversaries:
-
Today was the fourth anniversary of Kevin and me getting married.
We’ve had our ups and downs, but all in all, it was a pretty good idea. After all, it’s nice being married to your best friend. (Thanks for putting up with me, mister.)Well, that’s all changed! -
This month marks the tenth anniversary of my graduation from Bryn Mawr College and I get to celebrate next week by heading back to campus for Reunion. For two days I’ll get to catch up with classmates that helped shape four very important years of my life — somehow two days just doesn’t seem like enough time, but at least we get to stay in Denbigh. (Thanks to all of my friends, but especially to Melissa, who befriended me early on and has been there for me ever since.)
-
I bought tickets to see Duran Duran next month in NYC. The date is just a few days off from the twentieth anniversary of my first Duran show — June 22, 1987, when they played the Philadelphia Spectrum on the Strange Behaviour tour. My mom went with me in ‘87 and she’s going with me now. In fact, there were only a few shows we didn’t attend together. (Thanks, Mom, for putting up with my obsession.)
-
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary friendship with my pal, Alana. We only lived on the same street for about seven years, but no distance (in miles or time) has been able to separate us. Next to my mom, she’s the person who knows me best and has made sure that I’ve always stayed true to myself. I hope I’ve been able to do the same for her. (Thanks, ‘lana.)
Note: I listed these anniversaries in chronological order, but if I had to list them in order of significance, they’d be reversed. Really.
