This time nine years ago, I was in Laughlin, Nevada getting married.
We were really married in a little chapel called "A Perfect Wedding" in Bullhead City, across the Colorado River on the Arizona side.
We had all our family and close friends there to share the occasion. It was just awesome.
Some of the highlights of the weekend:
- We shared dinner in the little Regency Casino, with 20 of the 40 people that came up for the wedding. Best Prime Rib on the river at the time.
- Hubby's "dad" showed up at 6am. He had taken the bus from Phoenix. He was NOT expected. But it was an OKAY surprise.
- E, my son who was 19 at the time, used his resources to open a can of punch (no can openers to be found at the chapel) The old saying "Used a rock and a stick" actually works.
- During the ceremony, the Reverend asked Hubby to put the ring on my left hand. Being right and left challenged, that I am, I gave him my right hand. That doesn't mean we didn't get married does it.
- Losing darn near $100 on craps the first time I played. Didn't really hurt too bad since my Brother gave us the money so he wouldn't have to play alone.
- And many many more
And that brings us to 2006.
I wake up this morning and head to the bathroom. There on the sink sits these
The most beautiful red roses you have ever seen. Nothing could compare to them.
So you can imagine my surprise when I walked out into the rest of the house and saw this.....

Nine dozen roses - one dozen for each year.
My point is My Hubby is the BEST!.
It is hard to believe that it has been 9 years already.
Way to go, Rick!!!!!! Traecy, this means that you can't EVER get angry with him again!! What a very thoughtful gesture to and for a very throughtful couple. May you have 99 more years of happiness and joy together. Love you both,
Mom
