Love is merely a madness-Shakespeare

"Love doesn't sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, re-made all the time, made new." - Ursula Guin

July 12, Robert and I celebrated 12 years of marriage. Twelve years seems like so long to me. But, this thing we have has been such an adventurous ride that it has flown right by. Looking back, we have been through a lot. There have been growing times, bonding times, challenging times, over joyous times, and times I wish I could wipe away with a big, fat eraser. But that is what marriage is isn't it? It isn't easy, there will be bumps in the road, but how we handle those bumps, enduring, forgiving, loving, is what makes marriage. To be together, loving one another, after all that life unfolds in front of us, is our true test. We've worked hard to be together. Boy, am I glad, as I love my life with you and our three, little monkeys. And at the end of the day, I am grateful because I love you, Robert and I can't imagine my life without you!

So, we went downtown Boise. We had dinner, did a little shopping, stopped for yummy drinks, and then found a bench. Across the street from us there was live music playing. It was so nice and relaxing to just sit! We ended up having a ball on that bench. We sat for hours, talking, laughing, and being shocked at all the crazy things you can see on one, lowly street! Us, laughing it up!
Me, admiring my man candy! (ha, ha)

Robert, taking a few calls. (I am sure one was from his boyfriend, Brent!:)So, I snapped a few glamour shots of myself!
He even let me make out with him on the bench! (My favorite part of the night!)
Sporting one of my new, fun purchases from Helly Hansen. (If I were rich I would have bought everything in that store!)
Thanks babe for the most fun night I have had in a really long time!
I hope that in twelve more years we'll celebrate again on a bench in downtown, Boise, chatting, kissing, laughing, and having the most fun just being together!
