Sunday was our wedding anniversary - Christy's and my sixth. We had a fairly regular day with the kids - we went to church and then played some X-Box inside and watched Stevie Ray and Emma Grace play in the water sprinkler outside. A good day.
My anniversary gift for Christy didn't arrive until Monday but that worked out because Christy's anniversary gift for me didn't arrive until Monday too!
It's a picture of Christy and me together - one of the first pictures of us together when I lived in a small old house in the middle of a large field in Amelia, Va. I'm not sure of the effect applied to the picture, but I like the way it came out. The original picture is this one:
The field in the background is now a stand of planted pines. It doesn't look like this anymore. This was early in our relationship, but I think even then we knew something was different about it.
The words printed on the background of the canvas are the lyrics to by Martina McBride and Bob Seger from the movie Hope Floats and several emails Christy and I sent each other while maintaining a long-distance between Roanoke and Amelia for six months - until I found a gig in Roanoke and moved so we could be closer.
This is the coolest gift! It was made for Christy by Phunk Lab.
I am truly the luckiest man alive.
And Mama Duck, I want to make you omelets for breakfast for the next six - and sixty - years.
