For most people, having their anniversary to fall on a Monday would serve as some sort of a bad omen.

But after seven years of marriage it’s amazing how easily things like this get shrugged off. Perhaps even five years ago, what took place this past weekend would have caused major issues for us. Sheila and I were supposed to circumvent this bit of calendar craziness by spending Friday together and celebrating our anniversary then by actually sitting down to a nice meal with just the two of us.

Sure, we had a few errands to run, but then it was Red Lobster or Ruby Tuesday’s.

We had been looking forward to it all week long.
