Too many things to do

It is my 25th anniversary of being married to Mark! I can still remember Dec 23, 1981 fairly clearly. My mother cooked quiche for lunch but forgot one of the main ingredients. We went to the church late in the afternoon. I wore my sisters wedding dress (her divorce was finalized a few days before but I loved the dress anyway). My sisters and I drank champagne in the bride's dressing room while the groom and groomsmen drank beer in the parking lot. We do have a champagne/beer marriage!

Now I am amazed that Mark has loved me and lived with me for 25 years. During that time we have had two amazing kids, a few dogs, a couple cats and very few fights. Our kids are simply amazing -- I hope they realize what a blessing they are to us!

Twenty five years is a long time and yet a short time for it sounds like a long time, but it doesn't seem like a long time! Time is a confusing thing. When you are waiting for medical test results, 2 days seems like forever but when you are just out and about time can really fly!

If you have kids, hug them -- regardless of their age!
