User blog:Gideoncrawle/Tenth Anniversary Special

We’ve had a couple of wikiversary blogs in the last few days, and mine is coming up in a couple of weeks, but here’s an anniversary of a different sort. As of today, 25 January 2013, Wifey and I have been married for 10 years.

We’ll wait a few days to celebrate properly because we’re both currently under the weather (she more than I, because I got sick before she did), but in the meantime we've got a little something to mark the occasion with our "wiki kids".

In the summer of 2005, we took a month-long road trip from Denver to Boston with various stops along the way to visit friends and (mostly) relatives. Our first outbound stop was in Kearney, Nebraska, which happens to have a lot of museums because it was the confluence of three pioneer trails when the West Coast was being settled. At the museum we visited, they take pictures of exiting guests and then try to sell them prints. We initially didn’t plan to buy one because the picture didn’t turn out very well, but we changed our minds when we saw the faux “wanted poster” option, because the picture was perfect for that. As my friend in Boston later remarked, I look like I’ve just robbed a bank, and Wifey looks like she just chopped up three people with a hatchet and ate them for lunch. Check it out below, and see if you don’t agree:
