Let’s call this the year of love. Not that there was no love other years, there most CERTAINLY was. But 2010, the first real year of our marriage. No kids, no worries. We were free! Free and unshackled of bottles and diapers!
This was the year we also decided to make the Artistic Vision official. We always did things together and this was no difference. And so I handed a camera to you and said, here press this button. And you rose up to the challenge and became a talented photographer and my business partner.
We traveled a lot that year. We visited my grandpa. Michigan in the summer. And we ended the year out with a North Carolina beach trip where we got some beautiful pictures at sunset.
I remember the summer of 2010 there was an invasion of firefire flies that descended upon Clifton. Everything really seemed idealic. And I was much better at romantic gestures (though in my defense - I just tried to write this sentence a half a dozen times to be interrupted by a child). We did the Anniversary at Pompillos. I totally got carded for ordering wine, and I don't blame them. Look at how young we looked! And then there was the candlelit and the anniversary shoot with Tine. I even came and changed your flat tire when you were stranded on I74! Fixed a dishwasher (without a shirt). Man! I'm jealous of my 2010 self!
Ludlow was the ideal spot for us. We sold my car and for a season only had one car. Times were simple then. We budgeted for Graeter's ice cream, shopped at IGA, tried on hats at the Hat Shop. And then we ended out the year with Jazz Christmas at Taza that we helped organize.
I think this year my memory of you is discovering how wonderful marriage can be with a life together.
