It was recently me and Jono's 5th anniversary! :) I drew a comic for it, which I posted on tumblr and fb, so I think most people have seen it. Here's a link: http://summercomfort.tumblr.com/post/90011785469/5-years
Usually I don't really make a big deal about anniversaries -- usually it's Jono who remembers, whereas I'm like "huh? really?" But 5 years is a pretty long time to be permanently attached to someone, and they've been some pretty awesome years. I particularly value what we have, especially since we're just coming out of a particularly difficult time -- between Jono's struggles with depression and attempts to find meaningful work, and my attempts at pregnancy and various other life changes. We trust each other, and we communicate with each other. After 5 years, some of the rougher edges have also been sanded down -- we're better at getting our schedules and evening plans to mesh, we're better at communicating our needs, we're better at reading each others' moods. Here's to more marriage!

In fact, we (not so) secretly enjoy having the types of exchanges we think will make future Toodlepants spit out his cornflakes and leave the room in a teenage huff!

yay marriage indeed! It's so weird that half of my friends are in happy awesome marriages and planning babies, and the other half are very resolutely single. Have you figured out Toodlepants' actual name yet?
