So today was Father's Day. Wife want to take me to a movie so we went to see Solo. Being an old pro at marriage I picked a movie I knew that she would like. Then out to dinner and a 12 ounce prime rib.
We got married in 1976. We have been going to Star War movies together since 1977 when the first one came out. We had just purchased a new house and were so broke we had to save up for three weeks to afford the tickets. Since Star Wars came out we have purchased two houses, 14 or so automobiles, had 4 children, been scout leaders. coaches, and all the other normal parenting stuff. I once figured that we had probably changed some 15,000 diapers. Went on some epic family vacations too. One lasting 5 weeks and covering 9,100 miles of driving. Take that National Lampoon. We have been promoted to grandma and grandpa. We have become orphans and buried a son. Been one heck of a ride. All in all, a pretty normal life. It only becomes awesome when, in retrospect, you add it all up.
It looks like both us and Star Wars are still going pretty strong.
