Forever Isn't Long Enough

The top picture is the night we got married (10-13-85) and the bottom one is recently at Disneyland.

Thank God it doesn't look like we are old enough to be married for 22 years! At least that's what I like to think. We tried oh so hard to spend a quiet weekend away but it didn't really happen. We took time off 2 weeks ago so really couldn't this past week.

We left on Saturday to spend the weekend in Anaheim. We left the house before noon and didn't see Anaheim before 3:30. We got stuck in that traffic jam on the 5 freeway from the 27 truck pile up. Tony couldn't do too much walking, after all he had that awful rock climbing accident and hurt his ankle (good choice of what happened to his ankle don't you think?) So we opted for a movie. By the time the movie was done we had been called 3 times by the children for various requests. I'm glad they call and ask before they do things but we've left for 4 days and WE have to call them to make sure they are still alive. We are gone 5 hours for our ANNIVERSARY and they MUST speak with us immediately. Go figure. Sunday's drive home took as long but we had to get home, the children needed us. We learned that the freeway wouldn't be open until Tuesday so we both decided to stay home on Monday. (should have taken the extra day in the first place and stayed away another night)

So our anniversary dinner was popcorn and pretzels at the movies and for desert we had fig newtons when we got back to the hotel. Not quite the canned tamales and Doritos's we used to eat when we first got married but close. We did go out for a nice dinner the night before we left town though. However the good part is still to come, and I mean that sincerely. I got tickets to go see Puddle of Mudd and yes that totally outweighs everything else. Since my children love to keep in touch with us there are two extra tickets, and they get first dibs. But if they opt no to go, we will not be answering our phone at the concert. As if we could hear anyway.
