11 years married

11 incredible years.... 8 with the best kid in the world, our daughter. We spent it having a Halloween party for the kids and our friends. We laughed to the point that my face hurt from smiling so much.

Our daughter's day consisted of a WIN in the last soccer game of the season, delivering a straight left into Indiana Jones's face (her friend in costume), and completely saving the day by noticing a framed picture about to fall off the wall - jumping up into my chair - holding it against the wall until Mom got downstairs. Imagine broken glass in a room full of barefooted kids. Being a parent is pretty easy when you have a kid like her.


Our anniversary was yesterday (Day of the Dead ) you know me - day late, dollar short just like the day we got engaged February 15th - the day AFTER Valentine's Day. Malibu CA at sunset at Gladstone's.

We're at 31 and counting, but we've been together for 39 years, so we count next year as our real 40th.

Anniversaries never get old when you've found the right partner. You have many more ahead of you!
