13 years...

As of April 24th, Steve and I have been married for 13 years. It's not that we didn't think we'd get here, it's just that it's gone so fast! Time flies when you're having fun! We both feel blessed to have one another. Carter asked me a few days ago if I ever wish I had married another guy I had dated. With complete confidence, I answered "No. Your dad is the perfect husband for me." I then proceeded with my story about having my prayer answered that I should marry Steve, confirming my feelings. Carter smiled a comforted smile. I'm grateful for the chance to let him know how much his dad means to me. I really am a lucky woman. On Saturday, the 25th, Steve took me to our next Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives establishment. It's Glen's Diner in Wrigleyville.

Marvelous! It was started by the guy who owned a fish market downtown (that everyone in Chicago seems to know about). It was fresh, delicious, quaint, fun, and not even that expensive. One wall is decorated in boxes of cereal, which one can order from in any combination any time of day. Steve got the sturgeon with a mushroom-bacon sauce; I had the rainbow trout with brown sugar & candied pecans. Being an official "diner", they had multiple pies for dessert. I typically am not a Pie-person, but brownie pie was an option, and it was an occassion to celebrate--with chocolate, of course. OK, this brownie pie was one of the best desserts in the entire world!!!! I am salivating just thinking about it again! To Die For! Then to cap off the beautiful (and wet) evening, we had tickets to Mary Poppins. Spectacular! Because of my deep love of the movie, I was concerned how It would compare. It was definitely different, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It made me laugh, cry, and put me in awe. The Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious scene was unforgettable as was "Step In Time." What an amazing, magical night!
