12, 12:12, Twelve, 12/12

On December 12, 2009 hubby and I celebrated five years since the day our eyes first locked.  Get ready to gag, but hubby and I text or send IMs on any given day at 12:12 to say "I heart you".  Sometimes just a blank one does the job.  On 12/12 when the clock turned to 12:12pm we took pictures of the clock, the microwave, our cell phones...if it said 12:12, we got a shot.  My personal fave is our house phone it reads...12/12 @ 12:12pm.

I got this beautiful idea to start a photo journal of the twelves.  I got a shot of a 12 pack of Sierra Mist, (well actually I saw it, but hubby was busy bossing me around about the angle, so I dropped the camera in his lap and then mocked him with directions when he was trying to get the shot).  Then I asked hubby if he would be willing to go on an adventure with me.  I punched 1212 into Google with our city and state.  A local string quartet came up.  I contacted them and asked if we could come by, have them play for us and get some photos with them.  I have since found a State Park, restaurants, the 1212 Art Gallery, a quilters guild called Twelve by Twelve.  I think the most exciting part of the adventure will be traveling the many Route 12's and even I-12.  I am looking or art that resembles 12s ...anything and everything 12.  I even tried to get hubby to buy me this house...he said it's a little out of our price range...but I tried.  There is no end to the possibilities.

Our adventure begins as soon as I hear back from the ladies in the quartet.  Hubby is looking for a domain name for our adventure. I want to use my blog, but he's a geek and that will never do.  He's like a computer pappy saying in a gruff grampy voice... "A domain name for each project is something like an apple a day" While he is busy with that, I am checking out corporate sponsors.

I am giddy in love with hubby and looking forward to finding a gazillion reminders of our simple beginning.
