Still Married

A few weeks ago, I spent an entire day at the temple. It was a Tuesday and I recognized many of the ordinance workers because I used to volunteer during the afternoon shift. It has become my custom to go a bit early each week, eat a bowl of their soup of the day, and then attend two consecutive sessions to purge myself of daily cares. 

On this particular Tuesday, I sat down with some friends in the cafeteria. These friends are a generation or two older than me for the most part. When I joined them at the table, they asked me right away if I was still married. They had looked at my left hand for a ring, didn't see one, and assumed that it was over. No... I just take the ring off to wash my face and then forget to put it back on for days at a time. That thing is lethal!  I could put out an eye. 

Miguel and I are nearing our three year anniversary. He says that this is a big one because people tend to get divorced or have a big argument at the three and eight year marks. So, we have begun to prepare for it. We have tentatively scheduled to argue over the relocation of our favorite cheese on November 19th. 

Cheese  :-D
