The Thom's 4th Anniversary Spectacular
The title for today's post is probably a little misleading, since I'm not quite sure how spectacular it's going to be. I just wanted to give a little shout out to Megan and me for being married for 4 years. It's been great. Seriously, being married is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I love having someone there to support and at the same time challenge me. Marriage has made me a better person, and although it hasn't always been easy, it has been the most rewarding experience of my life so far. So, before this gets too sappy, I just want to give an extra big thanks to Mrs. Megan Thom for putting up with me so far, and I hope that you can continue to do so for many years to come. I love you very much.
And speaking of marriage, there seems to be a bunch weddings coming up. Five couples that I'm friends with are all tying the knot this year. So, to the future Mr. & Mrs. Burt, Mr. and Mrs. Cowman, Mr. and Mrs. Davidson, Mr. and Mrs. Schweiger, and Mr. and Mrs. Weinert, I want to say congratulations and best of luck.
Now, I'm not going to give you any marriage advice, but I will offer up some wedding day advice. First, remember to eat. Seriously, Megan and I were famished after our wedding and ended up having to order Domino's pizza, as it was the only thing we could get at our hotel. Second, never set your drink down. I started to drink at least 7 beers, but probably only consumed the equivalent of 1 beer. Ever time I took a drink of one, I had to set it down to go do something, and when I came back, it would invariably be gone. I think that some 13-year-old probably was getting lit at my expense. My only hope is that the little bastard was not feeling too good the next morning. And finally, and most difficult, relax and enjoy yourself as much as possible. You're only going to do this once, so savor it.
Oh, and if and when you go on a honeymoon, make sure you have a buffer day. When Megan and I got back from Italy, I went back to work the next day. This was not a good idea. We were on planes or in airports for 22 hours and didn't get back in to Omaha until 9:30 PM. I went back to work the following day, and got the sickest I've been in years. I'm not going to go into graphic detail, but I have 2 words for you: "projectile vomiting." It was so bad, I got 2 black eyes. Don't do it, stay home, and you'll be much happier.
That's all I got. Again, best wishes and welcome to the club.
