I remember a time when the thought of celebrating the 25th wedding anniversary was synonymous with being an old fart ... just sayin'....
But this old fart still feels the same way I did when we married ... as long as I take the pink miracle elixir after eating a heavy celebration dinner, you know? And don't drink too much wine because I'm just as likely to wake up outside on the deck, with my underwear on backwards, not remembering when my wife left my side ... just sayin' ...
So you're celebrating your anniversary?..... congrats to you and Mrs Halien.... just sayin!
Yesterday was the 25th anniversary, but we've been planning a trip for some time. My wife wants to schedule it for later in the year. Oddly enough, today I was offered a promotion with a relocation, and if we accept it will make it hard to pin down a time for our trip.
I think they were going for youth, because there were originally two jobs until someone noticed my background and said that I could do both. My wife and I have been saving towards a retirement home in this state as a dream, but my personal career succession plan would make it very important to move back to my current area at some point, since I live at the headquarters.
So I take it you didn't wake up outside on the deck? lol.
No, thats the embarrassing part. We have a small partially enclosed deck outside our bedroom that overlooks our town, a suburb. My wife and I have a wide lounger out there. After getting back from dinner, we sat out there and did what people normally do on anniversaries, you know? Its not uncommon for us to fall asleep out there with the fire in the pit (natural gas pit). I normally don't drink ... but I woke up early in the morning with the birds chirping, and she was gone, putting coffee on.
