Hey, it’s our anniversary! We got married in Las Vegas 8 years ago today!
It’s been an interesting ride for us over the years, going from Coast Guard officers, to business owners, to around the world sailors, but we’ve enjoyed it all.
This is the second anniversary that we’ve had since we started our trip back in October of 2009, and it’s strange how people think we should celebrate it. “Normal” people go out for dinner, or on a short vacation, but we do that stuff all of the time! One person was stunned to hear that we don’t have any special plans for today. “You’re not going to go out to dinner? Well that’s not very romantic” were her exact words. But my question to you is – what exactly is romance?
Since we’ve been on this trip, we’ve spent more time in each other’s company on a daily basis than we ever have. And I mean EVER. Most “normal” people spend all day with their coworkers, not their spouses. Prior to this trip, the most time we regularly spent together was every evening and weekends. When we were working together we still didn’t spend this much time together because we went to different meetings and worked with other people. So what can be more “romantic” than getting to spend all day, every day, with your chosen spouse?
We thought about today, and talked about making plans to “do something”, but we already have lots of amazing things planned! Any one of them could be a “second honeymoon” or an “anniversary vacation”. Why does it have to happen now, today? We acknowledge between us the significance of this day, but it’s more of a “hey, cool, eight years!”

Hello Greg and Tiffany: Congratulations! on your 8-year anniversary. As you may know in the Chinese culture 8 is a good luck number. May you have a great year filled with may good luck situations… minus the Mastercard situation.
Thanks so much for the good wishes Syndi! I hope everything is just as amazing for you back in CA!
