Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!

It has been four years since Other and I went and got hitched. So very many things came out of that wedding, and just about the only positive result was the fact of our marriage. (The other one that you might count was that Lou is no longer technically a bastard dog. He was on our asses about that one for years.)

In my Wedding Vows Essay, I talked about how much I enjoy simply being around him, and that hasn't changed a bit. While most social interaction is a tax on my system, being in his presence is effortless. I don't know how two such introverted people managed to find others who fell into that category, but I'm extremely thankful that we did.

Part of it probably has to do with the fact that Alone Time was so highly valued that it also made it into the vows. That can only help.

But really, there's nobody else in the world I'd rather have grading papers at the kitchen table while I'm holed up in my room knitting.
