Happy Fun-Fri-Yay Friends!

No way Jose, how did this go so fast! (I'm always amazed at how many Jose's I meet in my life). I'm semi back but just wanted to do a quick check in and say hello with a few highlights from our trip. This was my view for the past week that was such a blessing.

It was incredible to see through the lens of a baby making new discoveries pointing and naming everything, and witnessing first hand how quickly they learn and teach themselves, by making themselves a myna bird and you a mouthpiece.

By day 4 after we got into the groove and were able to begin to let go but the uncertainty of my mom's illness which took up residency as well as the dogs and kitties having multiple caregivers. I got daily reports which were reassuring but I was still not completely able to let go even with my daily meditation.

Our panoramic view was the front drop for special occasions on the beach and we were lucky to witness a proposal.

And the perfect time to ride on the coat tales of their love with our Anniversary 2 days later. This had already been cleaned up unfortunately but it gave me the inspiration to write a poem and put a few lines in the sand to celebrate our 45th. I did manage to find a few rose petals at the shoreline to reuse.

He said "Marry me", with all of the bells and whistles and got down on his knee with ring in hand and she said I do.

I said, "no need to marry me, I will just start dating". An ultimatum, he says. "Never" I say but I was living with him in his home, so where was I to go? Certainly not back home so perhaps it was. Still I Missed all of the hoopla but that doesn't last forever and we made up for it with real life opening and breaking us through the years.

7 years later we took the oath of marriage and 5 years later we had 4 kids in tow all under 6 years of age. The trials and tribulations have been many. We've waded through love, loss, disappointment, hardship, blessings, doubts, fears, unmet expectations, frustrations, sadness, elation, standoffs, break ups and make ups. Toasts to celebrations from riches to rags and rags to riches being house rich and cash poor.

We have weathered the storms of life and continue to set sail to our dreams and aspirations that change to accommodate who we are now. We've undone wedges and created bridges accepting our differences and open communication. We've become each other's ears when one can't hear and mouthpiece when the other is on a position. We give each other space to think and expand our horizons. We are friends first.

We move through life at a slower pace yet still in the race. Young love is exciting, undiscovered and adventurous. Mature love is tried and true. It becomes the base for family to continue to dip into for a rich foundation of living life. I am blessed in the life we have created even when our differences send me to orbit in the lands of Venus and Mars.

Housekeeping was so kind to surprise us with the beautiful arrangement on our bed. We had one token picture of all of us from our trip which will be savored at Edith's Resturant which I highly recommend if you get to cabo.
