10 years ago today...

...I married SWWBO, and then got on an airplane to go to Kuwait for a sabre-rattling exercise.

Back then, she was a computer geek for Sprint or Birch Telecom, I don't remember which. Then she morphed into a computer geek for Cerner Corporation... then Cerner did her the favor of firing her for being too old for their young, hip, not-customer-service-focused workforce. Heh. It's bad when your mother is better at what you do than you are, isn't it kiddies? *Especially* when it comes to client interface?

No matter - now SWWBO is "Farmer Gurl!" and a budding photographess.

SWWBO ready to feed the ravenous horde of guineas and chickens.

I've had *three* 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th anniversarys. I've only had one 7th, 8th, 9th, and now, 10th anniversary.

As SWWBO observed, it was Debbie's and Julie's job to keep me off the market until she was ready for me.

Good thing.


Og, this pic's for you, because I know you can't stand the sappy posts. But the subject of the sappy posts are what facilitates pictures like this...

The Arms Room of Argghhh!

Keep that in mind, boys and girls.

Luv ya, babe.

Update: Becuz' I *know* you're dying to know... what'd I get SWWBO for the anniversary? Well, it wasn't tin, or aluminum. No, actually I went back to the traditional 6th anniversary item, iron. A drag harrow. Hey, I'm the guy who got her a black rifle for Christmas, right?

Congratulations, you two! A true-life love story is a beautiful thing. :)
 
Yay for 10th wedding anniversaries!!! Congratulations!
 
YAY!!!! Here's to 10(or more) MORE!
 
A big congratulations to SWWBO and yourself!
 
Happy Anniversary John and Beth.
 
Congrats to you both!! May there be many, many more :-)
 
Congrats, and best wishes for many many more.
 
Many Congratulations and hopes for many continued multiples of 10 years for you. Hey, I'm the guy who got her a black rifle for Christmas, right? And that this ugly green skin condition clears up soon for me.
 
Congrats! And I have to tell you that the basement shot made me think "what a sad misuse for what was clearly destined to be a London Skittles" alley.
 
Congrats on #10 and may you both have many more happy years together. However, your present should have been a different type of iron . . . specifically a Stag 2H rifle with a MonsterMan grip, ambi-selector, an A1 stock, a YHM Phantom muzzle brake, and a C Products 10/30 magazine but in Hello Kitty pink, see link for picture (if you haven't already been swampted with links to it). http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=79553
 
Awww! Congrats, and many returns of the Day! Andrew, that's been shown here already.
 
Congratulations, John and Beth! I see a sweet little handgun with platinum and china grips in the not-too-distant future! LOL
 
oh, boy. WIll you adopt me? I can fix just about anything, I can weld, run a lathe, mill, grinder, harness repair, ropework, I don't eat much (anymore) and I'd be tickled to sleep in a cot in the gun room.
 
Gees. I've been dragging a lot lately. Congratulations, you two! Happy Anniversary.
 
Now I know who IT Admin is at this site. Happy 10th!
 
Oh, and Congrats! I have NO TROUBLE with sappy posts. It's the damned cats that make me crazy.
 
Hey, Og, If you and I work together, I betcha we can get the Degtyarev running again! With you sleeping on a cot, and m'self under the bench, nobody'll notice what we're up to, and The Donovan can have plausible deniability when the Kitten-Stompers come calling!
 
Happy Anniversary! A rifle for a gift is true love. For Christmas I had a choice of an early gift of a black powder rifle, which I would only use one day this past season or a remote car starter. Had to go with the car starter. That truly is the most thoughtful gift I have ever gotten.
