Good Luck Sadie! We love you, and we're sending brilliant thoughts your way!



Happy Anniversary to us, Happy Anniversary to...

October 11, 2007 by Robbie in Cortez

Happy Anniversary to us, Happy Anniversary to us, Happy Anniversary Robbie and Seraph, Happy Anniversary to us! We made it, we made to our ten year anniversary. It seems like we just got married yesterday and now we have been together for a decade.

We are heading up to Timberline Lodge for the day. We are dropping Isabell off at school and heading up to rest by the fireplace, read books, converse (by ourselves), and having a nice dinner. My mom is coming up to watch Isabell and her friends after school. I believe Isabell and her friends are planning a belated party for my mom, since my mom's birthday was on Monday.

We are off to seize the day!

Day 10: 2006
Well, this is the last song I'm posting, on the eve of our anniversery. As you'll notice, I'm sneeking in one more country song. I first heard this song a year or two ago, and always thought it would be the perfect anniversery song.
Even though our lives are as hectic as ever, it feels like we're finally getting the hang of this marriage thing! As I (frequently) say, if you plan on being married for 60 years or more, what's so big about the occasional bad day/month/year in the grand scheme of things? In reality, we've just made it through the infancy of our relationship, and I can't wait to see what's next!

P.S. This musical count-down would not have happened without Adam's help - so many, many thanks again!

Day 9: 2005
I was fully entrenched in shcool during this time. It felt like we rarely saw each other - the proverbial ships passing in the night...
You continued to shoulder most of the day to day work, while I kept promising this part would be end soon.



Day 8: 2004 This is when we moved to PDX

Day 8: 2004
This is when we moved to PDX. Life was chaotic but good. I have so many happy memories of that first summer, spending all of our time in the rose gardens, playing in the fountian, and picnicing under the Alice in Wonderland trees.
You were again brilliant in the way you found work at Hillside, chatting everyone up and charming many mom's along the way.

Day 7: 2003
Ok, I don't even know if you've heard of this song! I heard it in the car a while back, and it reminded me of us. We're both dreamers with ever revoloving dreams.
Spurred on by the events of the year, this was when I decided to go back to school. It took another year to get there, but you were with me all the way (well, after a few months of my nagging)!

Day 6: 2002
We joked once that we each wanted to out live the other because of the funeral music choices. You knew I'd pick sad country-western songs, and I knew you'd pick sad Erasure songs!
Anyway, here's my country-western tribute song. Even with everything was stacked against us, you're still the one.

October 05, 2007 by Seraph in Cortez

On an aside from the musical countdown - I started my vacation today. I stayed late at work last night making sure any lose ends were tied up, and feel resonably confident that the children's dept will hold together without me.
Not much is planned for the week. I think I'll try to hang out at a spa and do some pampering, but I'm also looking forward to reading and practicing my viola a lot. It will also be nice to walk Isa to school each morning, and generally hang out with my family.

Day 5: 2001
We had a 1+1=3 year, as Isa was added to our lives. It was a long year filled with sleepless nights, but also filled with little miricles. At the end we changed places, when I wnet back to work, and you became Mr. Mom.

October 04, 2007 by Seraph in Cortez

Day 4: 2000
Ok, this is probably the sappiest song on the list! Sorry if I am offending anyone's ears : )
This was the first time I've ever felt like my resolutions came true. We settled into work at EEI, bought our house, and found out Isa was on the way. This were looking up.



Day 3: 1999 This was a tough year for us

Day 3: 1999
This was a tough year for us. We learned that each win brought a loss. I remember resolving on New Year's Eve that 2000 would be better.

Day 2: 1998
Life was good, and we were ready for grand adventures! This song was out before 98', but we still had great fun joking about some of the lyrics.

October 01, 2007 by Seraph in Cortez

Day 1: 1997
Robbie - As a count down to our anniversary, I have enlisted Adam's help to post a song each day. 10 songs for 10 years. Many of these are completly sappy, and relate to us, or a particular year of our marriage.
Day 1's song is acctually from our dating days. I'm curious if you remember; )
