Happy Birthday To Me!


We got a post card from the UD alumni association on Valentine's Day inviting us to renew our vows at a special mass during alumni weekend. Coincidentally it was on my birthday. Since it was also our 10th anniversary this month we thought it would be a wonderful thing to do. We renewed our vows in a serviced performed by a priest that Duane had as a professor for his christian marriage class. It was a casual but intimate service. There were couples that had been married for 50 years or more and some that were still newly weds. It was a great time in our lives to reaffirm our commitment and love for each other. We are always focused on the girls and on the go. It's important to take time for each other when we can. The night before Duane and I went out to dinner with out the kids so later that evening we all went out for a family dinner. We ran into our friends Jeff and Nicole and their two boys. They were celebrating Nicole's birthday. So we all had dinner together. When we got home, Duane and the girls surprised me with a homemade ice cream cake. That's my favorite! Even though I am not enjoying getting older these days, it was a wonderful birthday!
