Isn't life full of ironies?? Harry has not been that busy all year - so today, our 42nd anniversary - he's sitting at the job site waiting for some guy to show up!! And my car is in the shop. But our tree is up!
We have never been able to go to the temple on our anniversary - because in the past, the temple has been closed for a Christmas break. This year it is not closed - so we figured we'd head out, do a session, have lunch at Santa Monica Pier (in honor of the lunch we had there 42 years ago!!), and then hit the Getty - which we've never visited!!
We have spent past anniversaries taking "get aways" to places like Pasadena and Santa Barbara (don't laugh until you've tried it!!) Did our Christmas shopping, went to movies, visited places we'd always thought we wanted to visit.
So, the Getty may wait until another day. But we will undoubtedly make it to the temple in time. And in the time honored tradition of those who get married before Christmas, we will be doing some Christmas shopping too.
But hanging out with Harry is the best way to spend time - any day of the year. When he was on his mission, I waited anxiously each week for the mail to come. Over the years, I have waited anxiously/impatiently/even patiently for him to get home. Today will be no exception.
It's good to have things - and people - in life you can depend on!

I loved this (and I watched the whole thing.) Love you guys so much!
Well, we love you too. I thought about including our burgeoning family, but I don't have pics of everyone, so I didn't want to leave anyone out.
And you know, for a pair who cut the cake in front of a chalkboard, we haven't done too badly!
Happy Anniversary. I hope I have a marriage that lasts as long and is as great as yours.
That was absolutely the BEST! Brought tears to my eyes. Love you guys...and remember, I was there from the very BEGINNING.
Just terrific! Love, Leslie
