As usual, we didn't celebrate our anniversary too much on the very day...November 23rd fell on a Sunday. We did make time amid the Thanksgiving, Christmas, pre-surgery rush to spend some time together remembering and having fun together. The evening of the 23rd we decided a good way to remember a wonderful 40 years together would be to look back through pictures from the very beginning. It was such a fun activity and made us realize what a wonderful 40 years it has been! We also took time to go out to dinner one evening - kind of a Paul's birthday/anniversary feast thanks to a gift card from one of the kids. We knew that after Paul's knee surgery he wouldn't be feeling all that great for celebrating, so we planned ahead and went up to a generous friend's cabin at Pine Valley on the Friday/Saturday before the surgery. Lots of stress from work nearly caused us to cancel, but we were so glad we didn't . It was wonderful. We had such fun spending time together in such a beautiful place. We walked, we biked, we ate good food, we relaxed! So thankful for Paul. He is such a loving, giving, unselfish, makes my life wonderful man! Of course there have been challenges, but facing them together has made them doable. So thankful for the blessing of eternal marriage.
