Well, its after two in the morning on the first of the first 2008, at least it is here in Australia. The fireworks were fantastic and I had a great night, albeit quiet. I went with one of the boys in the band to a mates place. We sat around his pool, drank a few, played some poker and let off some fireworks of our own. Very tame, but fun none the less. Unfortunately, my darling wife was working an overnight shift and while I'm used to the odd hours she works, I missed her even more tonight.
We've been together nearly six years now, married for a little over five of those years. It is still fresh and beautiful. Sure, there are parts of the day to day that have become routine, but not to the detriment of our relationship. Complaceny is not something we practice. We don't take each other for granted while maintaining a mutual respect for each others individuality. Maybe I'm making it sound like a perfect relationship or worse. But it isn't perfect and we both know it. But we're committed and we're prepared to work at it because, above all, we love each other very much.
I had intentions of writing a nice little, predictable note to all my friends here at JU. But I've done this before. You all know how much I enjoy being here and calling some of you friends. Real friends. But tonight. at approximately 2:44 am, I want to dedicate this to my wife, Toni. I love, I miss and I'll see you soon. Happy New Year, my darling.
