7 years of bliss
Tomorrow my Beautiful Wife and I are leaving for an extended weekend getaway. We plan on spending some time with nature and each other. I've been looking forward to this trip for months as I know she has too. It's not that often we get out just the two of us, so this is something special.
Saturday will be our 7 year wedding anniversary, again it's something special. My Beautiful Wife is the Love of my Life, and my Best Friend. She has a beautiful heart and a rare and deep understand of people and emotions. Not only that, but she's got a great sense of humor. For those of you out there on the interweb not married yet, go with the girl with the great sense of humor she will make you happy for the rest of your life, and she'll make sure you don't take yourself too seriously.
As you may or may not have noticed, I've been working to post something of interest at least twice a week. Mondays and Fridays to be exact. I've decided that each post should do one of two things. Make you laugh, or be informative. Since I'm not going to be here Friday or Monday, here are five links that will make you laugh and five links that are informative.
