"And sometimes a fart is all you need to fix a fight."
Thursday, December 03, 2009

Today, MW and I celebrate our sixth anniversary.

Six.

Past five, on our way to TEN.

I did not blog on last year's anniversary, but I did pen a clever entry on Year Four.

Four years ago tonight, Mr. Wonderful and I met on a bridge on a cold December evening. I never would have guessed I'd have been sitting here this far in the future talking about what a great time we've had so far. I can't say it's always been easy, or fun, or even wonderful. But at the end of the day, we've always been there for each other, in our own silly ways.

And so now, six years after that fateful meeting, I can only echo what I said two years ago. We have had a great time. I can also so that it hasn't always been easy - moreso this year than any other I suspect.

But despite it all, it always goes unsaid that failure isn't an option. Even when things are at their darkest, I know that on the other side of that slammed door is a hug, a joke, or a fart. And sometimes a fart is all you need to fix a fight.

Two years ago, when I first wrote that entry, I don't think I knew even then that we would soon buy a house together and establish ourselves as an actually family. We have not changed in terms of how we relate to each other, but it feels now that there is a bit of an anchor holding us down when we feel like we are drifting. As two very independent people, having that weight is not necessarily a bad thing. We may leave, we may stretch out, but we always return home.

I am going to start telling people this. I wish I had the ability to pass gas on demand because I feel like it would illustrate the point better. Even though the sentence sounds kind of silly, the meaning behind it is really quite beautiful and profound.

Congrats on six years!
