There are hundreds of other things we did during the past 1,000 days that I can't remember because it's ONE-THOUSAND DAYS.
How cool is that? I know that 1,000 days sounds like a lot and that it's only about 2 2/3 years, but it is still really special to me.
I love you so much, Baby. Here's to 1,000,000 more days!
Yes, I understand that's about 2,700 years. Just go with it.
For inquiring minds, since we got married, I have been keeping track of each day that has gone by with marking a tally in a little book I have...
Just kidding. I'm not crazy. I just happened to be on theknot.com the other day to look for our friend's page and found that our wedding page is still up and it said that we were married 997 days so far. I got a little excited, knowing that Friday would mark 1,000 days. I also know that I said I wasn't going to be blogging for awhile, but that I am blogging at this very minute. I'm weird like that. But seriously, this will be the last blog post you'll see from me for a long while. I am reevaluating what I do with my free time and am feeling strongly that spending the time on the computer that is required in order to blog on a regular basis is probably not the greatest use of time.
Now, I am going to sign off and go snuggle on the couch with my husband of 1,000 days and finish my celebratory margarita. Yum.
