are you two newlyweds?

seriously. nick and i were asked this last night at the eye doctor. how great! we confessed that were were not newlyweds. had been together for almost 13 years and married for nearly 3 now. makes me feel so great about our relationship.
now i know that we are wonderful. that i am beyond lucky to have him in my life. but it's also nice to hear an outsider say something nice. when those words come from friends and family it is almost as if they are supposed to tell you that, kwim?
and before this lovely lady, someone else asked us if we were brother and sister. wasn't sure how to take that one. is it a good thing that we can laugh and joke and be silly? or what? i was beyond confused. so the eye glass picker outer helper lady made my day!
oh, so did the new glasses i picked out. can't wait to be able to see again. see, smarty shannon went kayaking in the ocean with her glasses on. she then got them wet and tried to wipe them clean. hello.... scratches. i know this was in december but they weren't that bad. until this past weekend when my lovely father mentioned using car wax to buff the scratches out. note to the readers: do not try this at home! so didn't help. made it worse, but oh well, was worth a try. then he wanted to wet sand them. um, no. monday morning i made the call. hope to have my styling new glasses soon! considering i can barely see out of these suckers!
