29th Wedding Anniversary
We spent the day celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary at Les Bourgeois Winery…
…and Glenn’s Cafe.
All because two “kids” held hands and said, “I will” 29 years ago.
Time moved a lot slower then, and 29 years seemed like a long time away. As it turns out, 29 years went by in the blink of an eye and the future we saw then is here now. Happy 29th anniversary to my husband. I know that it certainly has not always been easy, but it has always been us. Thanks for all the days, but especially for the days when it took everything we had to tough it out. If we teach the kids nothing else, I hope that it is you can work through the days when the future looks bleak. That is proof that you can love someone enough to mean it when you say, “You are my forever.” I love you, Andy! We have built a pretty wonderful world.
Baby Shower
We went to a baby shower in O’Fallon, Missouri, today for one of Andy’s fraternity brothers. This was the guest book.
It is a very clever idea. I also had a lot of fun shopping for baby items for John and Kaitlyn. It was a nice way to spend part of a Saturday – celebrating soon-to-be Ryder James!
Happy Halloween!
Halloween looks much different these days. This year, Laura is at school and John is in Tennessee with Ari for a horse show. We got a taste of what Halloween will look like in our future. We still drank Great Pumpkin Ale from Flat Branch Pub and Brewing.
And, we had the fire going in the driveway while we handed out candy to trick or treaters.
However, it was the first year in 19 years that it was just us all evening.
It was a fun evening, but still different. Happy Halloween!
Art Show
We went to an art show tonight for the late James J. Froese. We are friends with his children, so we wanted to check it out.
He was a prolific painter, and his different pieces spanned many years of his life.
We really enjoyed the show, and I am glad we decided to go.
