AA

This weekend marks an occasion that's near and dear to my heart. It's the weekend that Pete and I celebrate our AA. No, we haven't developed an alcohol problem in the past year; AA stands for Arbitrary Anniversary.

Pete and I decided when we got together this time (we had an on-again-off-again thing going for a while) that we didn't want to celebrate our anniversary based on some random day that we started dating. It's just so inconvenient: sometimes anniversaries fall on Mondays; sometimes people forget them; sometimes they might be really close to a major holiday. So we decided to take control of the situation.

Every year we now pick a weekend, so far it's always been in the summer, to celebrate our anniversary. That way we get to decide when it is, it's always on a weekend, and it's always convenient.

Last year we went to Duluth for a long weekend. This year we're going camping up at Lake Bemidji.

We're leaving bright and early tomorrow morning and coming back sometime on Monday. Fredo is jazzed. So that's it for now, and I'm sure I'll have pictures and stories to post up when we get back.

Happy AA Pete!!
