LOML and I said "I do".
Took off an hour early from work today, just finished up cleaning up and we are headed out the door for a nice dinner out.

Congratulations Monty and to Missus Monty as well.... just finished 22 in March and looking forward to next 22....

There's some really nice restaurants in Houston... where you going??

My LOML and I favored the Mexican restaurants around our area when we were there, but for really special occasions I always liked Pappas... loved the fish... Didn't do many places inside the loop.. I tried to avoid downtown whenever I could.

[Kenny Durrant]

Congrats. That's quite an accomplishment now a days. I also hope you didn't take band saws advice and take her to Wendys. Enjoy your "Night Out".

 

[robutacion]

Congrats mate, I hope the partnership/relationship is never broken...!

Your 38 year made me think of the first time I said, I do, that was 36 years ago and I got 12 years out of it, I often wonder what happened to my first and unique first love since the age of 12 (married at 19) and while I was very matured for my age, were two things lacking, one was the maturity that only time brings and the second was the lack of having any support/guidance to the "bumps" a marriage throws at you, particularly at young ages...!

Lesson learned, deep scars to carry and after all this time, I wished that, things had done in a different direction, such is life...!

I'm not going to ask you what the secret is, I don't need to ask that question anymore, I got the answers as I got older...!

Keep it good, is well worth it...!

Cheers
George

Thanks for the comments fellows.

We went to Outback. I had s $50 gift card I bought earlier in the month. Kroger's has a fuel rewards program where you can get up to $1 per gallon (1 point for every $ spent during the month at the store). Every few months they offer 4X the points on purchasing gift cards, so I usually by several $50 cards to restaurants to have on hand.

I'm not going to ask you what the secret is, I don't need to ask that question anymore, I got the answers as I got older...!

The secret is two words..."Yes dear". :biggrin:

I always get strange looks from people when I use 2 of my favorite jokes on my anniversary.
When asked how long we've been married, I reply 20 happy years.... 20 out of 38 isn't bad.
or, We we were going to get a divorce but there was a custody problem with the kids.....neither of use wanted them.

 

[Edward Cypher]
