Today is Pat’s and my six year anniversary! Yes, six years ago today, we went on a double date to see the Wedding Singer with Pat’s old roommate Frank and my friend Amanda. Frank and Amanda decided to part ways after that night, but Pat and I somehow made it. A lot of times we wonder how we made it through the beginning of our relationship. We were both busy at our respective schools and Pat was even looking at jobs out of the area (one he even considered in Texas!). He had just gotten out of what he and his college friends describe as his bizarre “ass-slapping faze,” and I was a mild-mannered, shorthaired, angry-music-listening-to-feminist, of sorts. Not to mention, I didn’t drink alcohol or eat meat, and Pat, well...Let’s just say that it’s pretty amazing that we even got a chance to have a second date, but I’m just so glad we did.

How are we going to celebrate our six year anniversary, you ask? Well, we were going to go see 50 First Dates (it’s neat that it has the same co-stars as the first movie we ever saw together), but instead we are going to a home-buying seminar instead. Yuck. I really, really want a house though, so hopefully it won’t be a total waste.

We had a very nice weekend. Friday we did the “usual” with Mike, Holly, and Rebecca. Saturday, Pat and I did laundry, went CD shopping at the very crowded and picked-over Fantastic Records, and went out to dinner with some of Pat’s high school friends. Later on in the evening, we went over to Cima’s and hung out with Amy and Scott. Sunday, we hung out with Pat’s high school friend, Jason. We tried to go to Pudgie’s Pizza (Binghamtonians have some strange affinity for Pudgie’s), but they are closed on Sunday. As a large consolation to me (I’m not a huge fan of the Pudgie’s) we went to Acme instead. After that, we went to Record Archive and then hung out at our apartment, watching Cops. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

Oh, and Sunday night we watched the finale of Sex and the City at Rebecca’s. It was sad to see the show end, but I thought they did a nice job of wrapping up all of the loose ends in 45 minutes and ending on a nice, happy note.
