You can kiss your family good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you.

Better Late than Never


I meant to post this yesterday, but time got away from me and it had to wait until today.

Happy Anniversary to Us!! 11 happy years and counting...

We spent the day doing our usual mom and dad stuff...Bo played with the girls at the pool. He washed both cars and then he and Stefan mowed and trimmed both yards. By 5:30, we were dressed and ready for a night out. Jackie, Stefan and the kids headed over for the night and we headed out. First we stopped at Bo's parent's house. We had some yummy munchies and chatted for a bit over a glass of wine. They got us a really nice bronzed sculpture of The Last Supper by Leonardo DaVinci. Bo and I were very interested in the picture of it that Jenny saw on her tour of Europe a few weeks ago and when they saw it in Chattanooga, they thought we would really enjoy it. As a side thought...I think Paris has a close second running to my #1 need to visit place in the world. Rome is creeping closer and closer to the top and mostly because of my desire to see the Coliseum and Michelangelo's masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel. Maybe we'll get there for our 20th. Better start saving now. Anyhow, after we left their house, we headed to dinner at PF Chang's. There was a 45 minute wait, so we relaxed at the bar with a drink and a free Ahi Tuna appetizer. By the time dinner rolled around, we were ready to eat and all the food was yummy. We had soups, a calamari appetizer, some Sweet and Sour Chicken and Mongolian Beef for dinner and miniature cakes for dessert. We left full and happy. When we got home, we chatted with Jackie and Stefan for a bit and then headed to bed. It was a great night out and fun to think about that big day 11 years ago. So much has changed. And we have so many reasons to be thankful for all that we have experienced together over these 11 years. We can't wait to see what the years ahead have in store!!
