HaPPY AnNiVerSarY to Me!!!!

Well today is my anniversary at 4pm Utah time..Mike and I met at the gas station where he worked back in 1984...he tuned up my car...vrrroooommm...lol..and he looked so cute on his motorcyle with his baseball cap turned backwards..I can't resist a man with his ball cap turned around...seriously...:) We went on our first date on October 26th 1984 and we saw Terminator...sat in the very front row...makes it hard to watch the movie..but they were the only seats left...but he did hold my hand through the scary parts..we dated for a year and only didn't see each other for 7 days, because he was in the army at the time...In April of 1985...he asked me to marry him shortly after Easter...and on New years eve we decided to run away and get Married..my folks couldn't afford a big wedding as my mom was going on dialysis for kidney failure and I wasn't going to have his folks pay for it..we tried..but just couldn't swing it..so my best Friend Jill and her 2 year old Daugther Brittany and Mikes best friend Daniel went to the court house in Kearns Utah and got married...I was so nervous..I didn't want to kiss in front of anyone..and to this day I still don't like rubbing mouth holes in front of people...a peck is okay..but not the big one..lol..is anyone else like that.. we wouldn't even look at each other..I kept looking around the room and not at him when he was repeating what the judge would say..I was that nervous....came home and spent new years at Jills...we took off to my moms house and got some old wigs she had and this plastic horn that is loud if you got a set of lungs on you...so Jill and I went around the neighborhood yelling happy new year to everyone and blowing my horn..The guys stayed behind and played board games..some honeymoon huh..we didn't care..any way I had to call my mom to let her know I wasn't coming home that night and she thought it was an april fools joke..I said its december 31st...any way we called his mom and she was watching a tv show and was like, whatever...I think she was worried that I would be unhappy with the JP wedding...So on January 18th 1986 we had the church wedding with the immediate family at my church...then we went to dinner and on our honeymoon the next day..drove to washington, california and nevada and back home..we had such a good time for that week...then Mike joined the Navy and in February he left for boot camp...(he had gotten out of the army) and got the gyspy blood to travel so he re-inlisted to the Navy and he couldn't find stable employment to start our family with..so he joined up..So that is how me met..pretty boring huh..Seems like forever too...can't believe it's been 23 years...any way..The neighbors are not coming over as planned tonight as they work and it would be too late to have dinner..so they are coming over tomorrow for dinner instead..which is just fine by us..so we will stay in and have a nice quiet dinner at home and be with our babys....which is where we like to be anyway....we will watch a movie and bring in the new year...nothing special..We will go out on the 18th for something special..we don't like to travel at night on new years..toooooo many idiots out drinking and driving....

Remember to be responsible tonight...and have a wonderful time with your loved ones...Untill next time...See you all next year!...(I just love saying that)...it will never get old...lol...:)
