On Friday, Gary, Karl and I went to the Washington, D.C. Auto Show. We had a blast. And as is my tradition, I write my
next blog post about the event… including several pictures.
But today also happens to be my hubby’s birthday. So the post will have a dual focus.
I am blessed to have known Gary for just over 39 years. We started dating on April 4, 1980, just days before his 17th birthday. We joke a lot now that if I had known that he was 16, going on 17, I never would have dated him. You see, I was already a mature 18 at the time. (Chuckle, eye roll.) Actually, our dating did cost me some of my so-called-friends who felt I going beneath my status (whatever that was) and robbing the cradle.
By the time that I learned that he was 16 months younger than me, I was completely smitten.
I have never regretted God putting us together. In fact, Gary was a key player in me dedicating my life to Jesus. And on top of all that, we have fun. We laugh. We goof off and do crazy things like going down a zipline last year. I say that if I were to pick a ring tone for when he calls, it would be “You’re My Best Friend” by Queen.
Part of that fun recently was the auto show. As a teen, I would never have classified myself as a car person. There were a few that I knew and liked the look of (I remember the Porsche 911 and the Saab something or other were my favorites at 18), but I didn’t know much about them. But you can’t marry someone who knows and loves cars and not learn a thing or two. And I actually enjoy sitting and watching car shows with him! Some of them, like Grand Tour, I will rewatch on my own because they’re so much fun.
Happy birthday, my love. So glad Karl and I could celebrate with you a little early!
