30 Years and Still On A Roll

Today is Evelyn and my 30th wedding anniversary. I have often wondered where I would be in life if it had not been for the stability of my godly wife.

At a time where divorce rates are in the 55% range (much higher in the aviation industry mind you), we have found a way to accomplish this unique milestone. Evelyn jokes and says that as much time as I have been gone flying during our marriage it is more like fifteen years.

Evelyn wanted to get me a watch for the occasion and shopped around and ended up spending three hours at jewelry shops looking at watches and rings... Did I say that? Thats right guys... Diamonds are a girls best friend. I ended up getting a nice Movado watch pictured right.

As far as the new diamond is concerned... Well we are still working on that, but it's looking pretty good.

After that we went and had a very nice dinner at The 1913 Room in the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel. Following that pleasantry we stopped by the video store and picked up a couple of westerns (by her request) and went home an couched the night away. Not exactly a night I would have envisioned 30 years ago, but then again, it has been 30 years.

Bottom line is that we are still disgustingly in love with each other and are looking forward to the second half of our marriage.

Take care all.
Doug
