I consciously took last night off from writing – the first time in at least 6 months – for the sake of uninterrupted time with my wife.
Yesterday marked the 24th anniversary of the day Melissa and I stood before friends and family and God and pledged to stay with each other for better or worse.
There’s no doubt we’ve been blessed with quite a bit of “better” and very little “worse”.
So even though the timing was far from perfect (being in the midst of a dozen home projects under the pressure of summer days quickly passing), the two of us packed a bag, jumped into Sarah’s convertible (while she’s away at camp), and drove an hour south to Madison, Indiana, on the Ohio River.
It’s a beautiful little historic town and one of our favorite places for a day trip. We had never spent a night here before.
Melissa’s favorite is the bathtub next to the wall-mounted “fireplace”.
