Sweet Sixteen



Yesterday was my sweet sixteen....wedding anniversary! We celebrated by going to the very Temple in which we were sealed. The San Diego Temple.
We had dinner after, just the two of us. No kids. Imagine that. Special thanks to my mom and my sister for taking care of my kids and my extras!

I met Rich at bar of all places! It was a Country Western bar. I was wanting to learn how to line dance. It was the perfect type of dance as it doesn't require a partner. Something I was not interested in at the time. A few guys asked me to dance who I promptly turned down. Who knows which guy Rich was, guy #4 or guy # 7 whatever. He asked me to dance and I said no. My friend said I had to dance with at least one guy before I left. Fine. So I did. And the rest was history. So what is it about him that has kept me for 16 years? Well I will tell you.

When I met him, he was serving in the United States Coast Guard. He served 20 years and 9 months. He retired as a Chief. I love a man in uniform and I love my country. I love his respect and honor for this country and those who serve in it.

I love how much he loves his family.


He honors his priesthood.

He's kind of a geek....well he IS a geek. He is not afraid to be silly.
And I just so happen to think he's nice to look at.

oohh! the much awaited post! That is pretty funny you met your hubby at the bar. Not many people meet their spouse at a bar and make it last for 16 years!!!

Way to make it 16 years!! That is no small feat.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
