29 Years and Counting!

Wow! Seems like only yesterday! That's me and my hubby, David! We were married in Raleigh, NC on August 16, 1980. Twenty-nine years, four states, three children, two dogs, three cats, many pounds and LOTS of gray hairs later we're still going strong, loving life and loving each other! Like my mama always told me...."he's a good, good man!"

So yesterday was my daughter's birthday and today our anniversary. Katie's due date was actually the 16th, but she decided she wanted her own day and came a day early! LOL!

Today we leave for a week at the Oregon coast. School doesn't start back here until September 3rd, so we still have a little summer left. After the last few weeks I've had, I SO need a vacation! We're camping in a KOA Kabin down in Newport, OR. For years we owned a pop up camper and we've camped in just about every National Park in the western states. We sold it a few years ago when our growing family outgrew it. Now with the kids growing up and moving away, we're starting to look for an RV to use in our "old age" and for our retirement years. But until then, the Kabins are a great alternative. They offer beds (you bring your own linens), electricity, and in many cases, heating and a/c. Hotels are nice for an occasional vacation, but there's nothing more fun to us than getting close to nature, eating outside, and sitting around a campfire! So, until next week....Happy Camping! ~~Annie
