Everyone discusses which year of marriage is the hardest. Well Veldon hit the nail on the head when he said, "The first 45 years are the hardest." When he said it, we all had a good laugh. I guess we're always starting over with I'm sorry, I love you, please forgive me stuff. Whoever said you live happily ever after -- lied. It's the biggest challenge of LIFE. Loving those we are blessed to live with. It's like what Allie and Allen's kids had on a banner at their 40th anniversary, "Seems like an eternity already." Hopefully we have more good days than bad. Well we celebrated out anniversary in Mexico with Cyndee and Doug for the first of the week and the Gillespie's the last of the week of May 3rd. Our 45th anniversary. After all that, I have to say, Veldon is my #1 choice for eternity, still. Chantz did you post a pic of your fam, I don't have a together one. We all really liked this place, Mayan Palace, 20 miles from Rocky Point. It's on the ocean away from vendors etc. Cyndee and Doug played tennis, so did Todd and the kids, we swam and sunned by the pool and ocean, flew Ashlynn's kite. The boys long boarded for 30 seconds until they were stopped by the gestapo. Then they put an ice chest on it and road it in the hall by the elevator. G's built sand castles with a mexican fam from Tiajuana. "This is an international effort" the mex friend said. Nice, nice people. We especially liked just hanging out and not being run to death tired by the time we came home.
