The Dweam Wifin a Dweam
2006 May 11
It’s wot bwings us togeder today.
It’s that bwessed awangement.
It’s that dweam wifin a dweam.
Mawage.
And for me it all started 28 years ago today.
I’m still surprised by her beauty, still amazed by her faith. The journey has been full of joy, pain, ecstasy, grief, hurt, and forgiveness. We’ve welcomed three children into this world, buried one, and come frighteningly close to losing another.
I can’t imagine my life without her. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead in the next 28.
So here’s my wise advice for today: tweasure your wuv.

I guess the censor detector took my other comment away.
Happy Anniversary Jack (Mike) and Diane
When Geoff was in 9th grade (in Phoenix) he was over at his freshman football coach, Bob Finkbein’s house shooting hoops with some other guys. One of Coach Finkbein’s friends was there visiting and they came out and played a pickup game – the young guys against the older guys. All Geoff remembers is that the guy was little and shaggy and he kept wondering who he was – oh, and he wasn’t any good at basketball. Later on somebody told him that was Bob Dylan and that he played guitar. The coolest part is that after the game they all went inside and Bob Dylan played and sang for them. Geoff didn’t think he was very good! ha!! He also remembers the setting as the quintessential 60′s “pad”, i.e. beanbag chairs and shag carpet and that he was very uncomfortable and wierd. That was 1969. Oh, one more tidbit – Coach Finkbein’s wife was the Romper Room lady in Phoenix who gained notoriety for going to Sweden and getting an abortion. Geoff’s life is an untold story.
I spelled it wrong – it’s Finkbine. Interesting if you google him.
*grin* Happy (belated) anniversary. The Princess Bride was the first movie I ever saw with the youth group. I was confused at first, because we sent two boys to the video store and they came back with a movie called “the princess bride”… but I stopped being confused when they turned it on. It’s been my favourite ever since. The funniest story I have about that – went to a stanley cup playoffs party once – ended up being the ONLY girl in a room full of boys (awkward!) but the game was a blowout – Leafs were killing the Sharks if I remember right… so they turned on the princess bride. An entire room full of tenth grade boys… *grin* Really great movie. Have you read the book? It’s about twice as funny than the movie. –Allie
It’s incontheivable that you guys are old enough to have been married 28 years. Blessings on your next 28!
Congratulations! 28 years is no easy battle. You have bested the giant!
I just posted my “10 Life Lessons from The Princess Bride” a few weeks back.
It is incontheivable how quickly time flies when you’re in love and having fun.
