25th Wedding Anniversary

July 4th, 2012.  Can't believe it!  25 years ago today I married my Dude.  25 years is a long time.............but does not seem like 25 years......but I don't remember much of it,  so thats why it doesn't seem so long ago.  I see pictures and wonder when I ever had that shirt.  Plus we've had such a good time.  Excluding "work" hours,  we always have the best time together.  We should write a book about fun on a budget because no one has mastered that skill like us.  $5 - we got a party!  Broke - even better we can save money that way.  And its so nice on our anniversary because there are always so many people partying with us.  Fireworks, hot dogs, beverages - we appreciate all the fuss!  We spent a large portion of this day in Loudenville, Ohio.  We hiked the Discovery Forrest.  The temp was 97 degress.  Death heat!  What is with NE Ohio.  Freeze you butt off in the winter and die of heat stroke in the summer.  How about some nice room temperature weather - that's my favorite! What is wrong with us??  Anyways...........

At one time we wondered if we would be in China for our celebration.  We are not.  But soon.  Very soon.  We have decided on our specail 25th anniversary gift.  A silver frame with the inscription "a dream worth 25 years"  you know who's pic will go in.......EMMA GRACE silly!  Our baby girl!  Today is Wednesday.....could this coming Monday be our day?  That would be our 2 week wait mark for TA......Fingers crossed but knows our time will come soon either way.  Have not seen any lady bugs.....do dragonflies count?  We have a pet one - Darren.  He is always flying around my rock garden.  They say that is a sign of an eco friendly place.  He swoopes at our heads..............our heads are eco friendly!!  woot woot!!

After 25 years I can tell you I love my husband more and more each day.  I really lucked out with this one!  Emma and I are very lucky!  There is no one I would rather spend my time with - good and bad.  There is no one I'd rather be going on this crazy journey with.  We are going to have so much fun!  And he only teases me a little when I cry just talking about our daughter.  Scott Allen Goodson is the greatest!  Emma Grace will never see it coming!  And she may not realized for a long time.  She has the most amazing man waiting for her to call him daddy.  Both her ma ma and ba ba love her so much and will never ever let her go!  We are ready for it all.  Let us have it Em!  Here's to us and you being right here were I am right now in about 45 days from now!  But for now...........I'm going in to get a box of sparklers I got for the spirit of our celebration.....and yes......this great nation of ours!  GOOD BLESS THE USA!  We'll miss you while we away - but we'll be back.  YOU BETCHA!!

WE GOT THE FRAME!  WE LOVE IT!!
