FINALLY!!! WE MADE IT! This is our date number 60 on Bert’s sixtieth birthday. Ok, it was a little different, since this was not just Sue and Bert. We traveled (with Anna) to visit our friends, the Wess family, north of Chicago. On the way, we had Dim Sum in Chinatown (with Anna). And then we celebrated together with the Wess family and the Megan’s. Bert got a great homemade birthday cake. There is no better way to celebrate than being with friends and family.
We had to work hard to get all 60 dates in, but we made it. It was a great year, and we decided that this was one of the best ideas we (or better Sue) ever had. Too many times do we rush through life and forget to stop and enjoy our blessings. We have the best intentions when we rush and try to accomplish too many things in life for family, kids, and friends. It is just s important to enjoy the moment and each other. It is like riding a riding from one coast to the other. If you don’t get off the train once in a while, you can enjoy the beauty of life through the window, but all you see will become a big blur by the time you arrive at your destination.
Let’s stop more often, enjoy life and celebrate life. Our creator did not create all the beautiful thing surrounding us for nothing.
We enter the next year with a new idea. 30 dates in one year. We try to make them a little bigger - if we can. 30 dates – one for each year that we have been married. Follow us on our new blog at https://franzdates.blogspot.com/
