Yesterday was my 20th Anniversary, and the good news is, I made it home for it. I picked up flowers, a diamond anniversary ring, and a mink coat on the way home (partially true, take a guess), and all is well. The kids, of course, had a lot of homework, so it was a quiet night at home for the Amazings.

It’s been a great 20 years. Marcia has been a great companion and even better friend. She is a soldier, just like me. She does whatever it takes. She has also given me two chances to change the world whose names are Bonnie and Sarah. I’m proud of her, and I’m proud of them. I love her with all my heart.

Ironically, a good friend of mine, who, even more ironically, lives across the street, was also married on September 5th, only 14 years ago instead of 20. Each year on this day we talk and wish each other a happy anniversary. This year as we talked he said,

“We are awful lucky to have women that will put of with us.”

You’re right Joel. We are lucky.

Thanks Marcia, I love you.
