I was just thinking...

...when you are having fun!


And fun is exactly what I have been having for the past 18 years. This week my wife and I will celebrate our 18th Wedding Anniversary! It seems like it was just yesterday when I was throwing rocks at her barracks window to see if she wanted to tag along with me and a friend on one of our Sizzler runs.

It's funny when I think about it because she was like a cool friend someone I wouldn't mind hanging out with. I remember complaining to her about how much I hated San Francisco and California, she asked me what had I done or what places I had visited since I had been there...I told her nothing and nowhere...with the exception of a few visits to a mall and the Sizzler. She told me to hold my opinion until I had actually experienced the place.

She was a really good friend and I enjoyed being around her. I knew it was something more when she became sick and had to spend a few days in the hospital. I would go and visit her everyday after work. The hospital was in Oakland and I didn't have a car at the time, so I was catching a cab from San Francisco to Oakland everyday...at almost $60.00 a trip.

It didn't take long for the both of us to realize that we were the two and after a few months of hanging out with each other we decided to get married. There were those who questioned if it was too soon to get married...but we just knew...and here we are 18 years later still having fun...holding hands...waking up smiling at each other.

Like I said time really does fly when you are having fun...I can't wait to see what the next 18 years has in store for us.
