We were married on February 20, 1987. We were young and in love. Well, what we assumed was love. Our path to the wedding vows wasn’t easy, but with the love of family we made it.
The funny thing is that it doesn’t seem like 20 years. When you’re a child a year seems like it takes forever. When you get into your thirties a year goes by in a blink. I can tell you the 20 years I’ve been married have gone by in a snap.
My wife is, well, not only my wife, but she’s my best friend. This site is a gift for her made by my own hands; from one heart to another. I don’t work with wood, I can’t paint and if you ever heard me sing you’d know a love song is out of the question. I had to do this with what I know best and that is technical tools.
The idea is to celebrate 20 days of our anniversary starting today. I’ve assembled 20 words that describe our marriage and my wife. Each day I’ll polish one up, publish a small essay with a remembrance of something indicative of the word or feeling and present my wife with a gift representing it.
Here are the 20 words:

Geeky? Sure. But that is what I am and that is what I can do.
My wife is the queen in my life. She’s the sheen of my pearl. She’s the color of my life. She’s my soul mate and my eternal love.
