Wow! I cannot believe that 20 years have flown by! It doesn't seem possible that we've already been married for 2 decades! How did that happen? When did we get so old? So what big thing did we do to celebrate this momentous occasion? Well, when I bought tickets to Wicked almost a year ago, the plan was that we would spend the weekend in Salt Lake without the kids and have a fun weekend. Instead, we ended up taking the girls with us, so that kind of put a damper on a romantic celebration! We couldn't think of anything else we wanted to do that wouldn't cost a few hundred dollars more, so finally we s

The World Famous Lava Hot Springs! We had a lot of fun! First, we ate at a Thai restaurant that some friends of ours have been bragging about. It was yummy! I couldn't pronounce anything we ate, (and the waiter/owner could barely pronounce it in English!), but it was delicious! After that, we went on a tour through Lava. Del's grandparents lived there, and he used to spend every summer there, so we had a lot to see and stories to tell. We also visited the cemetary so Del could "say hi" to his grandparents and great-grandparents. Funny thing to do on a date, huh! It is beautiful countryside, though.
Later, we soaked in the hot pools with a cute, wrinkly old couple, two large men in speedos with WAY too much hanging over the top and sides, and a tatooed mother and daughter finishing up a cross-country trip on their Harleys. Too bad I didn't have my camera in the pool! Obviously, we were sitting in the coolest pool where the old people are. The other ones were filled with beautiful young people in bikinis, and at age 39, I prefer not to sit anywhere near them!
And finally (don't I look surprised?) Del shocked and amazed me by being romantic! Two dozen perfectly beautiful red roses! 1 for each year plus 1 for each child! Isn't he sweet?
Here's to another 50 anniversaries!

40 anniversaries??? you have it that well planned. what if he doesn't die, are you going to leave him???
glad you met some new friends at lava!
We're even, then! That precious footage of Dave learning how to dance has scarred me for life, too!
Thanks for pointing out my math! I just don't know anyone who has been married longer than 60 years, but I guess that will only make us 79 and 85, so I better add on another 10 or 15 happy anniversaries, huh!
