Married In Ohio

I’ll pay for it with very late nights today and Monday but I took a much needed day off from work on Saturday and took California Girl out to dinner. It seems strange saying that I took a day off on Saturday but I’ve working weekends for so long, I can’t remember when my last free weekend was. The Girl had an early out of town soccer game which meant I had to be up and early; but even with the long drive, I was back home and had the day to myself by 1:30 or so.

I had planned to catch up with everyone in blogland; but spent the time catching up with California Girl instead. She accompanied me while I ran a few “fun” errands like going to the computer store. Then I washed the car and took a nap. My late afternoon naps are always great since California Girl usually joins me and we don’t go to sleep right away. But we really did sleep for a bit. Afterwards we got up and went out for our new favorite restaurant for a sumptuous dinner. It’s very expensive; but we love eating there for special occasions.

Our 20^th wedding anniversary is this month and we wanted to celebrate. It’s hard to believe we’ve been together that long. Even when I’m not cutting it off, I’ve lost most all of the hair that I had when we first met; but California Girl looks almost exactly the same. I’ve no doubt she could still wear the same dress now as she did then if they were still in style. Days like this don’t come around very often and I’m glad it was a good one.
