First Contact Day

Did I know about this? I must have known about this. I don’t think I knew this, but it’s freakin’ nerd-vana whether I knew it or not.

As mentioned previously today is the anniversary of the first date my wife and I went on. Dinner in Lowell next door to the movie theater, and then a drive across town to the old Brew House where we just hung out for a long time.

April 5, 2007. A landmark day in my life.

In Star Trek world, April 5th is also the anniversary of the first human traveling faster than light AND the first human contact with an alien race. They made a movie about it. It was one of the really good ones.

In Star Trek fandom day is referred to as First Contact Day.

Our First Dateiversary is on First Contact Day. Holy shit snacks that is fitting! Granted, it was our first contact in person. We’d been chatting on line for a few months prior to actually going on a date, but let’s not worry about the semantics, our First Contact was on First Contact Day and oh my goodness gracious that it all kinds of awesome!

Happy Eighth First-Dataversary

I know most of the Western Hemisphere is wishing each other a happy Easter right now, but I’d much rather take this opportunity to wish Jennifer, my beloved, brilliant, charming, witty, sophisticated, gorgeous wife, a happy eighth anniversary of our first date.  Since that day our paths first crossed in person, I have learned what being In Love truly means.  I have learned what caring for some one really means.  I have learned just how good life can be.  I have learned what real happiness feels like.  And it’s all Jennifer’s fault.  Thank you so much for that first date, and every single moment that followed it.  I love you with all my heart, and I always will.

I know you don’t like me posting pictures, but I want the whole world to see the smile I so adore.
