The Difference

With passing years comes many new experiences in life.  As we celebrated our 35 married years together, Bob & I talked about if we had to do it over, would we do anything differently?  The answer was unequivocally, no.  We are happy with the choices we have made together in our lives.  However, one thing was quite clearly different - how we celebrated our 35th anniversary and how we celebrated our 1st anniversary!  For our 1st anniversary, we went down to Berchtesgaden in the Alps.  We went skiing (Bob skiied, I fell a lot), went sightseeing, drank beer out of a boot in a Gasthaus and stayed up till the wee hours of the morning!  For our 35th anniversary, we got up at 4:00am (our normal wake time), ate a healthy zone breakfast together, got a call from Maddie & Lindsay at 7:30am wishing us a happy anniversary (well, I did, Bob was already at work by 6:30am), left work early, went to dinner at Mackey's American Pub by 4:30, drank beer and Merlot, came home by 7:30, ate fruit dipped in chocolate (Corey & AJ & Cooper sent us an Edible Arrangement), and were in bed by 8:45!!! My how things change!!
