We can't wait to see you!!!

The average marriage in America lasts for 8 years. We have already been a couple for 11 (ask Facebook). Here are some things that make us chuckle about our time together: #1) Diane refuses to admit she lives with Paul, even though the only other alternative is sleeping in her 1999 Chevy Silverado...later sold to Jon. #2) Diane googles "should I go to the hospital" at 4am after Paul collides with a dark/sharp door...and clearly needs to receive medical attention. #3) Diane arranges a skydiving trip with Paul's friends, so Paul cannot avoid jumping out of an airplane. #4) Diane fixes a flat tire on the salt flats of Nevada, as Burning Man rages in the background. Paul and his friends feebly attempt to help. #5) Diane explains to Paul "I can't see every show with every band you decide to join." #6) Paul swaps shirts with Diane's friend in front of a bouncer, to get past the nightclub's antiquated gender-based dress code. #7) Diane ends her relationship with Paul mid-hike, as he explains their camp should be just around the next bend...when it clearly wasn't. #8) Paul convinces Diane to take a mini-retirement and "let's just go to Europe and see what happens." #9) Diane oversees a wine-making operation in their two-bedroom apartment. #10) Paul predicts Diane's grandma's dog "Heidi" will return, after her month-long Homeward-Bound-type-adventure concludes. #11) Diane fixes a flat tire on a camping trip in Flagstaff, Arizona, as again Paul and the other male companions feebly attempt to help.
