One Year Later

This weekend the lovely Mrs. Shabazz and I are celebrating our one-year anniversary.  It’s been a great year.  Lots of highs, an occasional low, and a love that grows everyday, and I’m not talking about me for myself.    So that means the blogging and tweeting is going to be kept down to a bear minimum.

To mark the occasion, we’re going to recreate our first date.  I’m going to take her to dinner, say something inappropriate, she’s going to slap me, throw her drink in my face and tell me to lose her number.  Seriously though, my wife is the most patient and well-grounded person I’ve ever met.  And depending on your perspective I am the either the luckiest or most blessed person in the world.   Come to think of it, she is too.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend.  I’ll be back Tuesday.

    Nice photo. Has she seen the dunk-tank photo? She might reconsider….

    Seriously, enjoy the weekend.

    Thanks. She dropped $20 in that dunk tank last weekend. :-)

    I still dont understand what she was thinking….seriously, congratulations.

    For $20 they shoulda let her just run up to the lever and push it.

    I’m just sitting here thinking…hot day, 55-gallon tank, give or take, and how many different folks were, uh, “stewing” in that brew?

    Was the Health Dept. notified? Did you get your shots? (Did THEY?) HazMat squad squirt you down afterward?

    (sigh) Abdul, Abdul, Abdul…I swear I’m going to send you a copy of Strunk & White’s “Elements of Style,” a must-have on most writers’ desks.

    Unless Yogi is involved somehow this weekend, it’s “bare,” not “bear” minimum.

    I’m sure the lovely Mrs. S wants you to herself, absent the picanik basket-swapping bear.

    Enjoy.

    A very lovely lady Abdul. You surely are blessed.

    Happy Anniversary, Abdul.

    You’ve never seen my wife get upset. I meant “bear”! :-)

    Have a wonderful weekend and may you both reflect on all the events that not only brought you together, but the ones that you’ve experienced and enjoyed together during your first year.
    Many more years to you both. Happy Anniversary!

    Congratulations Abdul & Mrs Shabazz! May God bless you both! You’re still my favorite graduate school prof. The hardest class I ever had, but thanks to you, thoroughly enjoyable! Jenny Barton
