Thirty days ago or so, on Caroline’s birthday, we found ourselves at the Grand Canyon National Park where back in 1994 right around this time of the year we were spending a brief honeymoon after getting married at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Today, January 12 we are noting our 16th wedding anniversary. What is tieing all of this together is that today’s photo shows us in the winter clothes we purchased during the last month of 2008 for a trip we were taking to Yellowstone in January 2009 to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary, and our 20th anniversary marking the first time we met back on 17 January 1989. You see, these clothes that were worn to the Grand Canyon last month are being put to use again this year, tomorrow as a matter of fact. On Wednesday, January 13th we are celebrating a one-year anniversary of celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary that was spent in Yellowstone National Park by repeating our trip to Yellowstone. A kind of anniversary of the anniversary, an exponential celebration of embedded anniversariness. Next year we promise to spin out of orbit and do something different, but for now, we once again don our Jack London memories and embark on a journey north looking for wolves, bison, moose, eagles, and the beginning of our 17th year of happily wedded bliss.
