A Decade of Knowing You....

Happy 8 Years of Marriage
(and ten years of knowing you!)

Boog & Flo. There were several naysayers of us. I remember very clearly a few college friends who, upon hearing about us, quickly dismissed it. Boog, being a playboy....Me, being...well, not the playboy-type's girl....it just didn't look like it would last.
They should have looked at our names. "Boog & Flo". If we can survive that coupling, we can survive just about anything.
God has a great sense of humor.

True story: When my mom was pregnant with me, they were going to name me "Oscar" if I was a boy (don't ask). When Boog's mom was pregnant with him, they were going to name him "Mabel" if he was a girl. Suppose we'd of still gotten married? Our names would have been "Oscar and Mabel Abeles".
The strange name coupling was meant to be.

I'm glad God authored the sense of humor. It's one of my favorite emotions. We went to dinner as a family tonight to celebrate our anniversary. While we were waiting, we all spoke briefly about a few things we were thankful about. When it came around to me, I naturally said, "I'm thankful that we still make each other laugh."

I laugh at Boog's very timely movie quotes and his quick wit. He laughs at my sarcasm and quotes from Time Magazine's hilarious columnist. I love laughing with him. It brings me back to when we were first dating, and I love going there.
I hope we're still laughing many, many moons from now.
