Anniversary Balloon Ride

It has always been Dan's ambition to take a Balloon Ride. Mission accomplished. This was his surprise for me.

Anniversay Update

I know many of you thought that our 25th Anniversary would be a big affair since we eloped and only had a small quiet wedding. I always thought we would someday make it up to you. Sorry. DW & I have an unbreakable bond between us that doesn't require special fanfare because we know what truely exists between us. I sometimes think that we were two opposites that have united in friendship and love. Someone once said to me that "DW is the one with the ideas and Vicki is the one that makes sure they get done." I am not sure that is entirely true but I do know that we have been able to accomplish more together than we ever would have accomplished on our own. We motivate each other. Our different personalities, (his highs and lows vs my calm, quietness & his negative outlook vs my positive view)definitely have added spice. But we both still long for our "together time." Therefore, instead of a big reception to honor our 25th Anniversary, we are taking a private, but exciting Alaskan cruise to celebrate. We will leave on the 26th of July and return on the 6th of August. Yes, it was his idea and my implementation. I have lined up a number of shore excursions including dog-sledding, glacier hiking, whale watching and more. Complete with the "Soapy Smith" story (whatever that is). So Happy Anniversay to us and thanks to all of our family who have helped us to make it this far.

June 13, 2009

I am working today. It's a little boring right now because we have had to turn down several flights for bad weather. I always try to bring stuff to do for these times. At least I won't have to spend my HOME time doing them. The Fire Dept payroll is still left to do but I will have it done by the time my 24 hour shift is over. Dan is hopefully helping some friends move. That is what he is supposed to be doing anyway, but we all know how he gets sidetracked sometimes so I can't guarantee that is actually happening. He promised to work on his to do list. I will be so happy if he can get some of it done though. I will update you later if I find he has done anything more exciting than me. Don't get your hopes up though.
