So Today, June 13th, was officially our very first wedding anniversary. We got married today last year by a Justice of the Peace in a Gazebo filled with photos of her own family's married couples ((Her parents, grandparents, and so forth)) with a bouquet of peacock tail feathers, from peacocks she owned. The place had birds by the score. Wild woodpeckers, three different kinds of chicken, four or five kinds of exotic geese, and three or four peacocks.
For Christmas I have a pair of glass ornaments shaped like peacocks with real peacock feather tails to clip onto the Christmas tree.
We didn't have much of a traditional anniversary celebration. We had a short game ((it wasn't as much fun as I was hoping to have because my head wasn't in it. My sister sent me a note ((yes knowing that today was my anniversary)) to inform me that my father had been lobbying to have my cat and one of the other cats put down, and decided to neglect to inform me of the part where my mother had already had very firm words with him about his apparent desire to kill perfectly healthy animals for no reason.
I could have been a lot happier about that exchange, though everything got sorted out talking to my mom.
We had a short game, then just kicked back and watched stuff with our friends, and had ravioli for dinner. I made a cake last night and we polished that off, it came out pretty good, other than the part where I have re-discovered that I do not Ice cakes, I commit atrocities with frosting. Still it came out tasty enough, just not terribly pretty.
Good times.
We had fun, even with the ding in the day, my cat is safe, and everyone's happy.
