Gushy Love Stuff

Yesterday was our 20th Wedding anniversary!!!!! It's hard to believe 20 years has gone so fast. I am a very lucky girl who was lucky enough to find my soul mate! My Hubbie and I adore each other and love each other for who they truly are. He accepts me unconditionally - faults and all!

I remember when I was a young girl asking my Mom - "How do you know" when you find your prince charming? She would always just say - "You just know" this answer was never satisfying for me, as I couldn't believe how simple it was...until I met my Hubbie....I just knew, and all of a sudden I realized what my Mom was saying. Everyone deserves to be loved as much as I am!

Our son, was asking me the same type of questions the other day...He ran into his ex, whom he is having a hard time getting over. We all have that "special" one in our hearts - you know, the one that took a piece and you still think of them every so often.....This girl has taken a piece of Brandons heart...his first true love.....He is at the point in his life where the girls he is meeting are either into parties or looking for a husband. Brandon is neither one of those, and is finding it hard to find quality females. I remember those tough times of feeling restless and frustrated in not finding anyone of quality!

I tried to not use the cliche of your time will come, and don't rush into things, there are plenty of fish in the sea.....I wanted to be understanding to his feelings, so I told him that when he finds the "right girl" it will be easy! This I know for sure...when I met my Hubbie, it was easy - we never had issues about lifestyle or friends as it all was EASY!.....

So I raise my glass to my Hubbie and I for sticking it through thick and thin for the last 20 years and I look forward to what is to come....If my parents are any inclination (they've been married 50 yrs) I know I will have a fantastic future with my darling Hubbie....As for Brandon, hold on darling, when you are least expected you will find that special girl who will love you for who you truly are!

Watching the Ocean

Well, we are back.....rested up and ready for another vay cay....once you start it is hard to stop!!!!!

The Dominican is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been! The ocean is warm, the weather hot and humid.....Drinks a plenty and sand a plenty....

We started off with the 6 hour flight and all was good. We were greeted with a little bit of rain, and HOLY HUMID!!!!!! The weater is hot and humid on a regular day....WHEWF!!!! We had a swim up room from the pool...an upgrade that is well worth the money! Our room was clean and newly renovated, close to the Ocean and swim up bar! We had such a grand time with our dear dear friends!

Basically we woke in the a.m. and rolled to the beach for a few hours until the rain came, then went back to our room to read and played cards with friends, then dress and off to dinner. We ate at the Japanese and Italian restaurants, along with the buffet ....We had a few issues with our tummies but nothing that stopped us from doing our daily activities. We were always well aware of how far the next bathroom was though. It is inevitable to have a few issues while away....

We would watch the evening shows, and gamble a bit, and shop a bit....This vay cay was one of, if not,  the best one ever! I missed the kids, and wish that they were there to experience the Ocean and watching Rob watch the waves day after day, and frolick in the Ocean. Rob and I were able to experience a 20 year belated honeymoon - one that will not be soon forgotten....

I look forward to booking another vay cay and having as many laughs, ocean frolicks, skinny dipping, dominican dream, relax, book reading experiences in the near future...I just need to win that Lottery so I can do it ALL the time....Thank you my friends for coming with us, and showing how great a tropical trip can be.....( It was convincing Rob, I am ALWAYS up for a vay cay lol)

Now I am scrambling to get ready for Christmas...as it is only a bit away.....any ideas for a son who has everything and a son who asks for nothing.......I will be like Winnie the Pooh - "think, think, think......"
