Happy Anniversary to Us

Yesterday was the 32 anniversary of our wedding day. I chose not to post anything yesterday because I wanted to spend as much time with my husband as I could, which really wasn't much until just after 5:00 pm when we both got off work. We had a great dinner in the wonderful city of Price. We had two new eating establishments to choose to visit. Amazingly, both had waiting lines. Wingers finally won out because the line was shorter. The food was very good and we enjoyed out time together. The noise level was a bit high, but after 32 years we don't have much to say to each other. What I mean is, we read each others thoughts and we can communicate with just a look. So we ate, tried to yell at each other (not really), and enjoyed our time together. After dinner we took the obligatory trip to Walmart. Time to stock up on frozen dinners for lunchtime, picked up a few more school supplies, some other odd-n-ends, and came home by 9:00.

I am so blessed with such a great husband and father to my children. He has honestly been my best friends for 32 years. He is the one I choose to spend my social time with, my down-time, the "I want to be alone" time. Since we are empty-nesters we have lots of time together, but never enough. He helps me in my classroom, and does everything around the house. I love him with all my heart. These years have been very trying at times, but with his support they have been wonderful years. It hasn't been trying because of our relationship, just with life in general. For some reason we always seem to be put through a test of endurance. I wonder who thought that up? And why did we agree to being tested? Beats the heck out of me! I am just glad I have my wonderful husband beside me to help me through the test. Can't say I'm passing the test, but at least I have someone there to help me with the answers.

I love you, sweetie!

Well Happy Anniversary to you, I didn't remember that you were married so close to my birthday and you got it right on the day. So far it has been a great day and I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend spending it in Salt Lake with the rest of the families. Thank you again for the birthday wish.
