Happy Anniversary!

"Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle."

--Sam Levinson

Not quite a lifetime, but far enough along to hope for, and still look forward to what lies ahead: My Bride and I are marking 30-years today (12/28) of sharing the same name, tastes, kids and in-laws. In all honesty, I can say I would not be here today without her.

They say that behind every successful man is a woman. True enough, but she’s a good woman, long-suffering, forgiving, and yet, just enough of a princess to demand—and receive—the best you have to give. That's my girl.

Women drive men crazy—but even more important, they drive us to perfection. Because when we’re making them happy first, the rest of your life falls into place rather nicely. If Mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy…but when Mama is, things are grand.

Thanks to my Bride for 30 grand-years, and if the Lord wills, 30-more together!
