Well, this is certainly another milestone along my journey...I can say that I not only passed my Silver Wedding Anniversary (still technically married), but I did so with flying colors....all colors of the rainbow intact!
The morning had begun very early. #1 came bounding into my room:
"Happy Anniversary Dad!"
I responded cheerily, "Happy Anniversary to me!"
I bounded out of the bed, gave her a big hug and began my day. The day weather wise was very similar to that day so very long ago.
I showered and got dressed. Went into the office and had a very busy day. Then, in honor of my big day, I took a couple of hours off and went to Macy's and purchased a brand new set of china...since Lovey had taken our wedding china and stuff. I picked my own pattern....it has silver edging......and I got some silver colored chargers.....all in honor of my 25th. AND....I got it all for 50% off!
I then took myself out to dinner at a mexican restaurant....and reflected on my life. I was not down....I was not depressed....but very thankful that I had expereinced all this stuff and lived to tell about it.
I came home...#2 in Nashville called to wish me a happy "Unanniverary"...(that's novel)...and came home...lit up the tree....and continued getting rid of junk.
Fell into bed around 11....and all was well at my house.
Today was AWESSOME....my boss called me into his office and gave me my annual performance appraisal.....plus a $5400 raise..... Then, he gave me a one time bonus of $4500...all totally unexpected.
I've been thinking that I needed some small victories in my life to keep me moving forward.
Well, thank God....this week I've had some MAJOR ones.
