Today is my 15th wedding anniversary. In "Hollywood" years it is our 83rd. Bless his heart for putting up with me. We are opposites in many ways. Him: Straight A's @ college prep private school - graduated from Yale with honors Me: Happy with a C @ a public school- Acting school grad (I had to go somewhere that math was not a requirement) Him: A driven perfectionist Me: Let me be kind to myself and just say...I'm not. You get the picture. What we do have in common is our sense of humor. It is after all what got us together 19 years ago. He attended a Groundlings (a comedy group in LA) show where I was playing a crazy old lady (in full makeup and wig) who owned a card shop in a sketch. He turned to his friend and said, "That's the funniest girl I've ever seen- I'm going to marry her." (He may or may not have been on some mind altering substance and have a thing for old women...but that is not the point.) It didn't matter that he had never met me or that I had a boyfriend at the time. He just knew. He was right. Thank goodness he is driven or we wouldn't be blessed with the amazing family we have today. A lot has changed in all these years. (including my waistline...damn, I can't believe I ever complained about my weight back then) But one thing has not- we still love each other- (we may not like each other everyday- but who does?!) and we still laugh, even through the hard times. We want to be together when we are crotchety old folks complaining that our soup is not hot enough during our early bird dinner outings.
I'm a lucky lady.
