Making arrangements to take the whole day off to celebrate your 14th wedding anniversary includes:
--His hard-earned money to fund an entire romantic, day-excursion to the beautiful San Juan islands
--Her few precious, uninterrupted minutes to plan an entire romantic, day-excursion to the beautiful San Juan islands
--His using up one entire day of his few, precious 10 vacation days of the year (pathetic vacation time, I know!)
--Her making arrangements for all 5 children to be watched from 6am to 11pm
--His patience in coming to a complete stand still, for 30 minutes, on I-5 due to a 5-car accident
--Her insistence that he drive like a maniac once they could break free
--His compliance to drive like a maniac once they did break free
--Her pleading with the agent on the phone to hold the boat
--His disbelief to pull up and see the boat just leaving the dock
--Her brief thought to jump in after it
--Their shared agreement that they should just spend the day together in the city because they already had the time off and the kids were being watched for the whole day.
--Their shared realization that they've both loved the past 14 years with each other because, just like their 14th anniversary plans, some times things don't work out exactly like you planned, but because you have each other-- you can find a way.
