Wedding Anniversary
Around 8pm 39 years ago today John and I were married. Our wedding night was spent at a hotel out by the airport because we left the next day for Honolulu and stayed at the Ilikai. My parents had purchased a package tour after John & I had attended a Don Ho concert. The only problem was that when we arrived at the hotel it was so late that we were too tired to attend the Show that night and a bimbo stopped by our room & brought some vouchers for meals. Then we found out the next day that our hotel bill was not being paid so we ended up eating all our meals at the hotel. We had to call my parents for more money. One of the ladies on the tour was related to the Seattle Police Chief so our bill, another guys and ours was paid by the time we left. But it did restrict our activities. I tried to play sleuth as I spied Don Ho every once in a while around the hotel. What was I thinking. We used to love going to the bar and listening to Joey sing & play his guitar and sip Mai Tai's.
Our kids always complain that we are a very dysfunctional family(so whose isn't.) Maybe that is true but we love each other very much and have gone through hard times financially, medical problems and all the other things that come with marriage. Our faith has kept us strong and we have a very strong commitment to each other. So I feel very blessed to have been married to such a hard working, honest, good father to our children, most of the time upbeat husband, that has stood by me at some pretty wild times.
