A good decision

Whoever claims that young adults have worse decision making abilities never met me and Jakob. Twelve years ago we went with our young adult impulses and how lovely that we did. No need to overthink this decision. No need for a pros or cons list. No need for prenups. This one was obvious and still is. So here we are 12 years later feeling pretty good and lucky about having met each other.

When Jakob played in his scrabble tournament last week he was really nervous. After all, he didn't know a quarter of the words in the dictionary the Australians use. This in turn made me feel nervous too because I probably only know about a tenth of the words in the most basic dictionary. But I reassured him that who cares and if he won one game that would really be incredible. He got theatrical and said he would win one game to prove our love! Ummhmmm. Chivalry never does make sense really but I guess that's the point. And then he texted me to let me know he won that first game and our love was solid. Phew! And then he texted again with good news. And again and again. And in fact he won that whole tournament. So now we know we have some pretty strong love going on here that conquers all. Well, at least all scrabble players.

Happy Anniversary Jakob!

There we are a bit younger but just as good looking

What an excellent choice in life partner
