Happy Valentine's Day/ anniversary

 Happy Anniversary and Valentine's Day to my funny honey. Where have the years gone? 

I wrote a parody song for a Valentine's Day radio contest. Winners were to be announced on the radio a week before Valentine's Day. Driving to work, I heard my name, among others, called as winners of a complete wedding package. I screamed! Then I called Bill, "We are getting married! Come home early so we can go to the county courthouse for our marriage licence."

He told me, "Calm down. Our wedding is planned for April, and we have plenty of time."

"Oh no we don't! I told him all about my contest win and our upcoming nurtials ON VALENTINE'S Day...on air. I did not tell him then it would be a mass wedding. We would be one of the 98 couples. sponsored by Y-98.

We won tuxedo, wedding bands, flowers, reception, photos. Bill's daughter videotaped the wedding ceremony/dance. Ninety-eight couples took to the floor at the Grand Ballroom of Union Station, and said our I Dos.

Later when viewing the video, four-year-old Ashley said, "WOW! I didn't know there was an earthquake at your wedding." There wasn't. Robin had a shaky hand while filming from the balcony. But I have been rocking with my big old guy for many years.

We have been laughing together for 33 years. We dated for five years, have been married for 28. I have never been happier. We are soul mates. I am blessed. 

We have left our footprints on Florida and Caribbean beaches, ball rooms, dance floors, campgrounds, cruise ships. We have lived and loved. Each day we appreciate one another more.
