To comment on Mere's post below: last night was our 3rd anniversary. While 3 years has flown by, the passing of the last year is what we were really celebrating last night. One year ago, last night, I was in the ER getting a CT scan in a whole lot of pain. To me, that was the beginning of the life long battle with cancer that I have been forced to enlist in. That was when they realized something was obstructing my intestines. Being the naive boy that I am, when they said they didn't think it was cancer, or even anything that serious, I believed them. Silly Andy.

Anyway, here we are one year later. A little more scarred, a little wiser, and a lot more gracious to be alive and married to each other. Life throws things at you and you either duck and weave or you get hit with them and they take you out. Because I have such a wonderfully supportive and loving teammate in Mere, I'm able to escape the perils of tragedy. I am a lucky guy. Here's to making it this last year, beating the odds and making it many many more and to being healthy and happy the whole damn time.
