Ahhhh, this was awesome! And the story is perfect! And your wife is beautiful! Kudos to the both of you! (Did I use enough exclamation marks?)

Thanks, Heidi! It was a fun weekend, and this was just something that sort of came up as kind of a sidebar that I was going to mention in the complete overview of my anniversary. Hoever as so often happens with me, the sidebar became the main chapter.

And next time, try semicolons...

I love this post. I even teared up a bit. Very good advice - and I was pleased you wrote about how Michelle feels now. I've often wondered how she felt now about all that went on in the past. Her perspective is just terrific.

And...I love the Opryland Hotel. Never stayed there or eaten at any of the fancy restaurants...but several times I've walked around it, taken the boat ride, enjoyed the 'outdoors' without ever going outside. It's a beautiful place - perfect for an anniversary.

Happy ( belated) Anniversary!

30 years is certainly something to be proud of. You two look great!

My Dr.Sister likes to say: You have to water your own grass. Seven words, I know- but oh so true.

Happy 30th Anniversary Y'all!
