Twenty Years and Counting
Yesterday, Dale and I celebrated twenty years of marriage. (Actually, celebrated may be too strong a term.) Fourteen years ago, two days before our sixth anniversary, a beautiful daughter was born to us, and this beautiful daughter loves a party. In fact, she loves a party so much that she does not simply celebrate a birth day, but a birth week. Her celebrations grow and expand, and as I scramble to keep up with all her fun ideas, our anniversary gets forgotten. By the time our anniversary arrives, I am too exhausted from the party week to plan a celebration.
Dale claims that we will celebrate our 25th anniversary with a big bang. We will make up for all the years of hurried dinners, ‘good for’ presents, Dale’s absences, and the many anniversary days full of family obligations.
Two days before our 25th anniversary, Abby will be turning nineteen. I think it would be a great idea to have her pay us back for all the years of birthday weeks and plan the celebration for us. After all, she does love a party.
I think that’s a great idea! Our 20th approaches, and we’ll be back in CO where it all began. Someday you’ll have to write about how you honyemooned in CO, and the trip out there (which, I’d like to add was NOT my idea).
Happy 20th!!
Happy Anniversary and congrat on a beautiful family~
I’m thing for the 25th anniversary that a trip to New Zealand in need. Of course, you must stop in Australia. or maybe I’m thinking a flashback theme. You know the 90’s or 80’s. I’m planning it now.
Happy Anniversary! Carolyn just celebrated her 1st back in March and Angel will celebrate 6 Months July 23rd. Makes you feel old I bet to know kids from your first youth group are actually old enough to get married and have kids. We will celebrate 32 years in July. Joe is going back to school now that he is retired. getting his M-Div from AGTS. Hugs to you all Denise :biggrin:
