Yesterday in japan, today U.S., Ryan and I celebrated two goofy years which involved: oceans of prayer, a mountain-hiking honeymoon (3 days of which I was passed out, sick), moving to Japan, the usual petty newly-wed arguments, hospitilization and surgery, the creation of three family characters: Muzzle Bear, Pterodactyl (a baby one), and Rhododendron the wheezing dinosaur (whether he's a stego or a T-Rex we're not sure). Mostly there's been endless laughter, thanks to Ryan and his never-ending charm.
This pic is thanks to Jenna who took the time to photoshop the tent-pole perfectly out of the picture!
Jenna, Andy and Abigail bought and creatively created all the decorations as well as helping to set everything up--it was SO lovely! I will never forget that you guys.
How we Celebrate
Cheaply ^_^ Last year we went to Onjuku Beach for our anniversary, this year we did the same. The beach was fairly empty and the weather was breezy and cool in the shade.
Ryan shows me a message that a Mermaid Wrote! Or so he said.
Ryan is happy. Look at that crazy swirling fog in the background! It's like that most Onjuku mornings in summer I think.
Then we went home and showered and made the hour trip to Makuhari to check out the available movies. Sadly, X-Men and Pirates of the C. have yet to come out here, but Mission Impossible III wasn't bad at all and was basically our only option other than an anime, Disney's Cars, and Ivan the Iced Cod (the uncoded name--and you thought it was called the DaVinci Crap or something like that? Really, the movie is the code, it's not about what you think it is--the grail was a drunken Cod named Ivan who got Iced in the process of creating a portrait in the sand of his mother who had her head chomped off by a shark for sleeping with a racist cowboy who liked to whip Polar Bears. Think it unlikely? I got it from the same feminist-wicca library that Dan Brown used. And, as you all know, literature written with major (albeit run-of-the-mill) propaganda is always very truthful!
Poor Ivan, we will protect his memory from the whipped polar-bears and keep the truth in secret forever!

That's awesome guys! It is good to hear that you two are still enjoying each other.
Erica and I will celebrate two years in just a few weeks here. We are not doing much ether, just going to Hawaii.

We're so glad we were able to be there! It was a beautiful wedding. I don't believe that was the last time we saw eachother :(
Happy Anniversary! Sorry I missed it I was at camp.
Hooray for Onjuku! What a kuhl place!

oh- and that's wonderful that you get to come home for christmas!! maybe we should plan an eau claire reunion???
Yeah Kel! I was just thinking the same thing. I even thought it'd be SO fun to have it at Rod and Gun park in Eau Claire since it's gorgeous there, but then I realized that it'll be cold, plus I don't know if I could get there.
It could be in Appleton--an EC reunion in Appleton sounds about right ^_^
