And now a word from BRP...
As some of you may know, last July (the 22nd, to be exact), I got married to my long-time friend that some of you know as Kaylea. The anniversary date is quickly approaching and I'm wanting to do something special for her. However, this isn't without its snags. Thanks to the economy and other things beyond our control, our financial situation hasn't been the best. We managed to make rent, bills & necessities the past few months but after all that was taken care of, there's hasn't been anything left to put aside for me to do something special for her. To make it worse, since things haven't gone as they should have, we've been living separate ever since we were finally a married couple. This has made for a very rough year on us both.
I know she loves me and it shouldn't matter what I put together for our anniversary. That, however, doesn't stop me from feeling like crap because I can't surprise her in some way. Some people would argue that the first year anniversary isn't special. I disagree. Every day we have each other is special but the 22nd is more special than others, not only because it's the anniversary of our marriage, but because it's the anniversary of when things finally started changing for the better for both of us. I didn't ever expect to move to California 2 years ago and hit it off as well as I did with her. It's the anniversary of our first in-person meeting, the day we both agreed to be with each other forever and the day where our lives changed forever. This in itself makes it important for me to celebrate in some fashion.
I'm going to try my best to pull a miracle from my nether regions and give her a great anniversary gift somehow. If any of you would like to send your best wishes to us, I've set up this Anniversary Fund ChipIn. I thank you all for taking the time to read this, for keeping us in your thoughts & prayers and being there for us if only for someone to talk to.
