Nine Years Doesn’t Seem That Long

I did not do a blog post yesterday, and I have a good excuse.  It was our nine year wedding anniversary, so I spent the evening with Chris.  Holy Cow! It does not seem like nine years have come and gone already.  I promise that I will post wedding pictures someday.  Back in those days, digital cameras were not so common (geez I feel old saying that) so all of my wedding pictures will have to be scanned.  That’s going to take a little while and, for now, I’m just to lazy to do it. 

Ok, fine, you can have one picture:

I had jury duty until five o’clock yesterday evening. Don’t even ask me… I’m not allowed to talk about it yet. Ha! Anyway, when jury duty was over, we decided to go to Olive Garden for dinner.  The food was good and that was about as fancy as Chris and I wanted to get.  We had dinner, drank a little wine, and then went home like the old people that we are.  It was actually really fun and relaxing.  We don’t get to spend a lot of evenings together because I work during the day and he usually works from three to eleven. We had a nice time, and I feel very lucky to have been married for so long.  Not many marriages last through as much as ours has, and we feel very blessed. Thank you to everyone who wished us a Happy Anniversary yesterday.

Until We Meet Again San Juan

I have about 10 million (give or take) more pictures that I could show you from our San Juan Island trip, but I feel that the time has come for me to wrap it up and move on to other things.  But don’t worry, when you least expect I might just… BAM… throw another San Juan post at ya, just because I can.

For now though, let me just take a minute to recap a few things that I love about San Juan Island that I may not have shared with you in previous posts.

Family Time

Zip Line

The zip line on San Juan Island was the highlight of our trip.  It was so much fun!  I was surprised that I really wasn’t all that scared.  I was really, really proud of my aunt Emilene.  She was terrified, but she didn’t let that stop her.  She was out there zipping through the tree tops like a champ.  I really can’t describe how cool it was, so I’m just gonna let some of my pictures do the talking.

Way to go Emilene!

   

   

   

Finally, a couple pictures of me (above, blue t-shirt).  I didn’t have very many of these because I was the one taking most of the pictures.

   

      

  

    

   

Thank you to our guides Stella and Pat for making sure we had a great time and for keeping us safe. We loved it!

For a good time: Zip San Juan!!!

Vacation Dinner

While we were on San Juan Island, we each took turns cooking dinner.  On our evening, Chris and I decided to make shish kabobs.  They were pretty fun because everyone was able to decide exactly what they wanted on their kabob.

      

Yummmm…. Tasty.  Shish kabobs are my favorite thing to bar-b-que.  They are fun, tasty, and I don’t have to have any onions or peppers touching the rest of my food.  The End
