33

Not many of us reach the 33 year mark. Not because we are old, but because we are in a world where rotten choices and circumstances beyond our control lands us in short marriages. We, on the other hands, despite the rotten choices and circumstances beyond our control, are still at it. We are healthy for the most part, very happy and have a million reasons to celebrate!

So we celebrated last night. We removed all the children from the home. Dad BBQd a Filet Mignon steak which nearly killed us with pleasure, I sauteed some fresh asparagus, and we put together some other items, building a three course meal to die for, without dying financially and the company was divine. Lots of conversation about work, kids, what we love about our relationship, the highlights of our marriage and the low spots, our diets and our fears, and of course practice on scripture mastery.

Then I asked the fateful question: "So what else shall we do?" Dad suggested a movie and we finally decided to be crazy and watch AVATAR. So we went, donned our 3 D glasses (a brand new experience for us) and buckled in for the ride. And what a ride! There was plenty that amazed us, amused and astonished us. But we laughed so hard all the way home and stay up talking with the girls for a half hour about it. We will remember our 33rd for some time.

Still loving each other, working hard and having too much fun!
