This year marks a dozen years that Mr. Monks has been by my side in the real world. And it still overwhelms me at times just how lucky I am. They say all relationships are hard, and we certainly have hard times but for as much as we each are committed to each other&#8217;s happiness we put in the work every day to make it work. I like looking back at all of our adventures. Which may sound odd, as a housebound and chronically ill person to have movie memories when you never go past your backyard. But we didn&#8217;t leave the virtual world when we cross the real world threshold. We still live and play as our 3D avatars, and we still have the occasional date night at a disco. But mostly our day is filled with small things and if not Kodachrome moments then certainly cell phone worthy snapshots. So in light of our baker&#8217;s dozen anniversary (as we met a year before he came to SoCal) I remixed some of our old memories, put our soundtrack on it from our &#8220;wedding song&#8221; and made a small thank you for my husband who makes my small world simply spectacular.
