Time to celebrate!!!

It has been a busy couple monthsfor me with business,booming, company changes and the end of baseball season finally arriving,itmeant time to get back to the real world. But, one thing that also cameat theend of baseball season my wife and I’s weddinganniversary. (17 years)

We didn’t get to celebrate onthat day as planned, can’tremember really why now, even though it has only been a couple weeks.So, inabout 2 hours we are dropping off the pets and the kids and grandpa andgrandma’shouse for 3 days! (YES 3 DAYS)

This is the first time in almost12 years that we have beenaway from the kids for more than 24 hours. I think my wifehas put up withenough business, family and everything else that she deserves a tripout oftown.  

We have decided to head down tothe beach and stay at ahotel down there. We are thinking about going whale watching, fishing or heckmaybe even both, see what life decides. Heck after 11 years, we mayjust sleepfor three days knowing no one will wake us up. (LOL)

So, for the next couple days, youmay get pre-written posts orhopefully some great, great photos from our time at the coast together,wereally are hoping for good weather and a chance to take some amazingphotos. Ihave to admit I would love to get one of those once in a lifetime photoshotsof a whale coming out of the water, like you see in the magazines.

So, be back her Wednesday nightwith some serious realestate articles, but for now, maybe a comment or two and a few greatshots,can’t promise much more than that. (I’m still not sure if I’m allowedto bringthe computer or not – lol)

Hi Todd-

Happy anniversary (belated) and congratulations on a busy year so far. It's great to hear that you and your wife are taking a trip to celebrate your years together. May it be the beginning of a great new tradition.

Have a wonderful time!

Todd....you need to get away more often.  I can tell you as a Christian, you are showing your kids how to model a marriage.  My wife and I get away at least one or two times per year....for only about 2 - 3 days each.  But two things occur....1)  I remember who I marry, 2)  We come back refreshed for the kids; 3)  (OK...3 things) you're modeling what they should do when they grow up.  It tells the kids that without a great marriage, there's no great parenting!!!!!  Good for you!  Have a blast, but make this the new baseline for you!  We just had our 13th anniversary and we have 5 kids!!!!

Todd - Happy Anniversary and enjoy your trip!!!  It's definitely hard to get away with a business, kids and pets, my husband and I try sneaking away at least once a year for 2-3 days.  It's really nice to slow things down, sit back and enjoy each others company.  I always feel reenergized after a mini vacation like this.

It is a shame we will never get to see those fireworks above a baseball game again thanks to the owners of the Timbers kicking out the Beavers and then selling them.
