8 Years...

I met Aya in 1996...got married in 1999...and today is our 8th wedding anniversary! Where has all the time gone? It seems as though we just got married a couple years ago...not 8 years ago.

Aya and I watched our wedding ceremony on VHS last week (my dad converted it to DVD). All I know is, I looked A LOT younger 8 years ago and I had a full head of hair....I guess marriage will age a guy!

Well, at least I can say I did one thing right in my life...I picked a good wife. I guess, I really am great. I even bought Aya this shirt shortly after we started dating...yes...when she was an intern.

3 things that I am sure Aya will want clarified:

1. No, Aya wasn't wearing the shirt when the picture was taken. She held it up and streched it out so the words were clear for the photo.

2. Yes, those are holes in the shirt and Aya doesn't wear the shirt anymore. We found in buried in Aya's drawer.

3. I have no idea what that 'stain' is above the word 'interns' but it is pretty funny.

Ron-

If you need lessons on how to rule with an iron fist, come by for instructions. I am always free.

Sunil-

You are confusing me for Sascha. I bought and expensive ring for Aya at the time. It wasn't my fault I didn't make a lot of money 9 years ago when I proposed.

Plus, she already got one upgrade. Nevertheless, I will be sure to let your future wife know that if you won 100 million all you would buy is one crummy 10k guitar...so that means you can use the other 99,990,000 for her ring!!
(which you probably already have from all your consulting hours!)

Aya -

The upgrade is due in another 2 right?!? Give the man a little breather for now :P ..but make sure you get it before he starts throwing the JT Trump Card everytime.. =)

U are most welcome ...let me know if you have any other requests that u may have... I think in the one year being Miles teammate, I bet I can throw something out there that you can definitely feed on! =)

Miles:

To stand corrected, that was wat I would buy if I won 100,000 dollars not 100 mil! But yeah..I am a simple kinda man...with limited imagination!

Fortunately or unfortunately, there is no customary or an expected ring/jewellery upgrade in an Indian marriage. So it could be an upgrade at free will or none at all. I am definitely rooting for the latter! =)

and wish I made that much money with my consulting hours. I am just an FTE working as a loaned consultant! Darn...these visa issues! lol...I need to find myself a Citizen Chick...I dont even have promises for a RAIN CHECK from somebody!

sigh!!
