Yesterday was our 45th wedding anniversary. No, we didn't go on a trip, but then again maybe we did. We took a long ride down memory lane. We drove down May Avenue.............just drove down May Avenue and talked about some of the great places we shopped or ate back in the day. I am sure the memories are much sweeter than the actuality at the time, but isn't that what memories are for............sweet memories--isn't that the name of the song?
As far back as our dating, we had fun exploring places. Saturdays were almost always out seeing what OKC had to offer. Sadly, a lot of these places are no longer; French Market Mall, Continental Theater--actually almost all theaters have closed, Enchanted Doll, Glen's Hickory Inn, Tony's Via Roma, Captains Table, Shepherd Mall.......the list could go on and on.
Yesterday, we even walked through the old Crossroads Mall building. We could spend hours there and not spend one dime. Our babies turned to toddlers to children to teens there. What fun............visiting Santa, window shopping...........people watching............enjoying our lives. And did I mention, we didn't have to spend one dime there.
Sometime during our nostalgic day, I started second guessing our decision to stay at home for our celebration rather than go on a fantastic trip. Were we making it special enough? I even started worrying that the restaurant we chose for this special day wasn't going to be memorable enough.........."was it something to remember?" and that's when the hubby turned to be and said..............
"It's about us. It's not about the restaurant. It's not what we do on this day. It's about us. We are all we need--each other." Oh he has a way of keeping me grounded. I love him. Happy 45th!
That's all I have. I love you.
