Our anniversary is October 19th. Hard to believe it's been 12 years. Halfway to the silver, and a quarter of the way to gold! But we'll settle for a bit of silk, nylon, or linen, since that's what the gifts are supposed to be for the twelfth year. Personally, I can skip anything nylon (not crazy about synthetics), but some nice silk bedsheets would be cool.
After living in San Diego, Miami, Los Angeles, Orange County (Fullerton), and now Bakersfield, we feel like we have never put our roots down. This is our fifth year living in one town, easily the longest in one area, yet we've moved from an apartment to a house, so it still seems like we're nomads.
We know a lot of couples go through this the first few years of marriage, but then once the kids come along, they decide to settle. I think what has helped for us is actually buying a house. Owning property has given us a much better sense of belonging than we imagined it would. No matter where we end up or how many houses we live in, we will always remember this as our first.
No one can say where we will be for our 50th anniversary, but it's nice to spend the 12th together in our own home. There are no travel plans this weekend, but the bug has bitten yet again. Who knows where we will go next?
