35 Years

Julie and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary yesterday. In normal fashion for us it was low key, no gifts, culminating in a dinner out at a new-to-us restaurant.

Julie is my trusted partner in so many areas: planning, cooking, adventuring, accountability, parenting, grandparenting (!). Yeah, pretty much everything.

Yes, I had to pursue her and convince her to go on a first date with me. Then to say committed to me. Then to marry me! All within the span of a year. When you know, you know.
