I'm a software developer who specializes in building great web applications, with a passion for future-friendly code, human and device accessibility, and open data.

Twelve Years

Today is my twelfth wedding anniversary. This is the point where I would link to my husband’s Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/etc. profile and talk about how awesome he is, except he adamantly refuses to have any such profile (he also does not have a cell phone). So I’ll just skip to the talking.

We’ve been through and done a lot in the past dozen years, in no particular order.

  • Got a green card
  • Started school
  • Finished school
  • Gone back to school
  • Bought a house
  • Gone through a major renovation
  • Had a kid
  • Endured half a dozen eye surgeries and the surrounding uncertainty
  • Supported each other through the loss of family and friends
  • Started two successful businesses
  • Taken a disproportionately small number of vacations
  • Adopted a couple of dogs
  • …. and a cat
  • Made it through tough times without a job
  • And a whole host of other things either too trivial or too personal (or sometimes, oddly, both) to mention.

It’s been a journey full of ups and downs, but all in all, mostly ups. It’s been a fun ride and I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather do it with.
