Forty-one years ago today God blessed these two young kids as they tied the knot. Like all marriages there have been ups and downs but we know we love each other and are looking forward to the days that are ahead of us. Like fine wine our marriage and love for each other gets even better with age. Here's to the next 41:):)
Well, I never thought he'd go for it but John actually WANTED to sign up on Facebook so I helped him do that this week. Now it remains to be seen if he actually does much with it but I'm proud of him for even trying cause like I've already shared ......He DOESN'T LIKE COMPUTERS!!!!
If you haven't signed up on Facebook, I would encourage you to. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I really enjoy it a whole lot. I was hoping to help my sister, Doris, learn about how to use Facebook but we weren't able to make it out there this year. Next Feb. 2010 Doris and Mack will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Wow, where did all that time go ..... it sure went by fast.
I have Really enjoyed this last week as I've been online with Neil. We've done a whole lot of laughing and some sharing of what's going on in our lives. Lizette is one more step closer to becoming a citizen. I didn't realize there were so many steps in the process. I'm proud that she's up for the challenge. Neil is doing quite well in his work. He finds it interesting with lots of potential.
He's even been trying to teach me how to do some new stuff on the computer that will make my life easier....... if I can ever learn it all. One thing I've discovered about the computer is ............... there is Always MORE.... stuff to learn. I love learning new things about using my computer cause I use it so much and anything I can learn to make it easier and more efficient is GREAT. For example, I recently learned that if you hold down the (Alt-Key) and then type 167 on your "number keypad" (NOT the numbers at the top of you keyboard) you can make the little degree sign. [ie. bake at 350ยบ]. I know, it's such a little thing but it's stuff like that ...... that makes using the computer more fun. I would love to sit down with someone that knew how to do ALL the things that I'd like to know how to do and just soak it up like a sponge.
Maybe someday when I retire ..... IF.... and when that happens, John and I can take some computer classes. John gets very frustrated when he uses the computer and does only what he has to do. He and I would also love to take a class to learn how to speak Spanish fluently and I still haven't given up on my lifelong desire to learn to play the piano. Well, maybe someday, but today I've got to get to the business at hand.........so that's it for now.
I can't believe it was 9 years ago today that Glen and Sheri tied the knot. So much has happened but it's just all gone by so very fast. In 2005 they celebrated by going down to Florida and seeing Disney, Sea World and visiting relatives. That same year in March, Neil married Lizette down in Colombia, So. Amer. but they have since moved back and now reside in the Los Angeles area. In 2007 Glen and Sheri celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary by going to So. Calif. for a visit which included Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, the San Diego Zoo as well as sight-seeing in Hollywood. A trip I'm sure they'll remember for a long time. Here's to many more wonderful years together.
Well, it's with a heavy heart that we made the decision..... NOT to go out to California this month. January just about did me in and my poor body feels like it's been put through the ringer. I don't feel like going to the grocery store much less half way across the country. Hopefully when I get to feeling better we'll try to get away but the timing is just OFF for now.
I hate to disappoint Neil and Lizette as well as Doris and Rena but I wouldn't be good company if I feel lousy the whole time I'm out there so we'll just wait and see when there might be another opportunity.
