Happy 20th Anniversary!


Tommorrow, August 6th, is our anniversary. It's hard to believe Dan and I have been married for 20 years. WOW!!!! I still feel like a kid, and yet we are grandparents.
We both, not telling each other till yesterday, gave ourselves the day off. We both had the same idea. We are going to spend the day together, WORK FREE!!!!!YIPEEEE!!!!!! We don't have anything planned, but we both have a few ideas. You know your getting older when you have a day off, and you want to take a nap!UGGGG!
Let me see, whatelse can I tell you. Oh, I'll give you the run down on Dan and I courting, dating, etc... My mother worked for Dan's uncle and my sister said I needed to see this guy that kept bugging her at work. Yes, Dan was trying to date my sister...first. Anyway, we went to my mom's work, and there he was. Oh My...Look at HIM!!!....I told my sister she could do better, and was not impressed by him, at all. His first impression of me was mutual, we both did not like each other at first.
Anyway, my sister was dating Dan's best friend before you know it, and Dan was the third wheel. Anyway, they thought Dan and I should go out on a date. I reluctantly agreed, and the evening ended with...I'll never go out with that...again. After numerious attempts from my sister to convince me to give this guy a second chance I still was not interested until...
One evening, Dan came over and apologized for the horrible first date. And asked for a second date. I was completely smitten with him. I had never had any guy apologize for being such a ...guy, and that said something about his character. Anyway, we went on a second date, third date, etc... and here we are. 20 years later. We both have watched each other grow-up as individuals, and together as a couple. We were married on August 6th, 1988. Dan was 18 years old, and I was 16. It's been a very growing and learning experience. And I'm thankful that it was and is with Dan. He is my better half. I'm looking forward to another 20,30,40,etc...wonderful years.!Love YOU Honey! Happy Anniversary.
