17 Years


I have now been married to Lisa for 17 years. The actual date is July 30th however I am very late getting this posted. I did not forget I just have not posted. This year I surprised Lisa with a getaway to the other side of the Wasatch. We had a lot of fun. On Friday the 31st I took the day off work and we went up to Park City and rode the alpine slides. It was a lot of fun. We had passes to go three times but the lines were so long we only went twice. Personally I think the slides and coasters are a rip off but who listens to me. For an all day pass it costs as much as Disneyland! I digress...
After riding the slides we drove over and checked into our bed and breakfast. It was a quaint little place that was really nice. It is ran by an older couple that do a great job. We stayed in the old world room which is really nice. Although it is a little pricey it was a great place. Bed and Breakfasts are pricey anyway. When we were all settled in we went downstairs and had ordurves. I am not that kind of guy but these were really good. They also have a never ending cookie plate and that was nice to have around. The nuts and other snack items were great as well. That evening we went to dinner at a roadside place and had some tacos. It wasn't to bad. We then went to the Rodeo. Lisa and I love the rodeo. It is always a treat to go to and the Wasatch county fair puts on a great show. Half the fun is the announcer and the clown in the ring. We did not stay for the bull ridding as much fun as that would be because it was just getting way to late.
The next morning we had a good breakfast. They did German pancakes which Lisa really liked. I thought they were OK but I am a breakfast snob. I did love the sausage, it was spicy and full of flavor. We then caught a movie, the proposal, and went shopping. The shopping was shopping and I have never understood it but I do like hanging with Lisa and seeing her enjoy herself so it was fun. The proposal was great except they through in a scene with Sandra Bullock naked. Yes her nipples were covered and her crotch but it was tasteless and unnecessary. I would not recommend it. It was a great weekend but the real fun has been being married to my best friend for the last 17 years.

Congratulations. You guys have almost been married as long as Toby and I. Glad you had a good time. Tell Lisa Happy Belated birthday. I am lame, but things have been very hard lately. I thought about her all day, but didn't have much strength. I did send her a message on facebook, but I know how often she checks that.
