31 Years

Can you believe it, Dan and I have been married for 31 years. Seems like just yesterday but then again it seems like a lifetime ago. Certainly wouldn't have done it any differently.

Had a pretty exciting day. Dan was off because the work van was in the shop. So we decided to work on the step leading up to the deck and vote. Not the usual things people do on their anniversary.

First we had to go to Home Depot to get the 2 x 4's to make the frame for the step, that was the easiest part of our day. The rest of the day would have been easy but I can't read a sample ballot to get the time right for the polling places opening time. I thought it was 0700 but it was really 1000.

So we went home and cut the pieces off the end of the deck and Dan rounded over that edge so it looks really nice.

Then we headed out to try voting again, we were getting it done today even if it killed us. We went to the Saint Cloud Library and had about a 20 - 25 minute wait. Didn't take us long to vote because we both had our cheat sheets so all we had to do was fill in the circles and we were done. Didn't really have to read anything, can't imagine going in cold and having to read and figure out all the amendments.

Stopped by the bank and Dan got lunch at Sonic. Then it was home to work. Finished up the step that leads to the deck. Still have to put the top on the step coming out the back door, but that requires a trip to Home Depot for the last of the lumber. We also took a small detour on the frame outside the back door because of the slope of the concrete. But we are almost done with what we are going to do right now.

We are actually celebrating our anniversary on Saturday with a dinner out. Not sure where we are going yet but we'll have no problems picking a place.
