Anniversary Traditions

The traditional list of anniversary gifts states that the first year should have been paper, and the second (this year) should be cotton.

The modern list states the first year should be clocks, and the second year should be china.

We don't follow those lists. Last year we went with our own list and got "material" for each other meaning we bought clothes. This year, Jenny said we should get "air" which we turned into getting carbonated beverages. Our other air ideas just didn't work well with this time of year. We couldn't find a hot air balloon ride, nor a skydiving trip that was going out this afternoon in the snow.

Nonetheless, we continued last years tradition with a dinner at the Macaronni Grill, where I decided that we are only required to be as mature as long as we've been married. Thus tonight, we only had to be as mature as two year olds. I think we succeeded.
