Nope, this isn’t about what’s happening in Iowa. Four years ago today TobyJoe and I eloped to Niagara Falls. Here we are that day. We look so happy!

We’re actually freezing our tails off. Niagara Falls is bloody cold as hell during the dead of winter. But we were in Detroit visiting Gina and took the opportunity to drive up there for a day and seal the deal. You see, when I first met TobyJoe, he used to jokingly say, “Let’s run off to Niagara Falls, rent a room with a heart shaped bed and get married.” So we did just that only we couldn’t find a room with a heart shaped bed. We settled on the top floor of some hideously weird hotel directly overlooking the falls and each of us had to pee a lot for the duration of our stay.
Here we are about a month after we met. Our friend took this shot.

Ladies, sometimes getting really sloppy drunk at a bar will help you to meet the boy of your dreams.
This is the “appliance” anniversary. We were going to buy a HDTV but that’d be pretty irresponsible of us since we’re trying to buy a house. There will be no appliances purchased or given on this anniversary. Instead, we’ll make dinner, hang out with Em (who cackles every time I say BOO!) and I’ll have some vanilla ice cream with a couple of chocolate chips.
