The Beginning

I am starting this blog in response to the oft asked question "how do you two stay so in love after all these years?" 

My stock answer is "you wouldn't believe me if I told you" and even if you did,you may find it difficult to understand.

I am adding a disclaimer that these "helpful hints" are relative to my relationship and may not have any effect on someone else's unless they happen to be as crazy as Mike and I must be!

That being said, I will attempt to share my secrets of a journey that began with a parking lot date invitation in the year 1984.....

(Dedicated to my best friend-lover-husband, Mike)

The Code

I am going to begin with a wonderful gift given to me by a dear friend on my wedding day because it is what we try to live by. I am attributing this to my friend,Paula Olsen. I'm not sure if she wrote it but she did bestow it upon us and I thank her from the bottom of my heart :
