Tonight we celebrated our 5th anniversary. I know...I know...it was actually 3 months ago. But sometimes life gets in the way. Chuck had been out of work for 7 months then he left Knoxville for San Diego at the end of April to start his new job. Then we sold our house. We decided to put off our anniversary for 3 months. So here we are on July 5th (5 years to the day he broke both of his feet rock climbing). First, we went to see the movie Hancock. It was very good although LOTS of foul language!!! From there we went to eat. We had already decided on the Melting Pot. We got there at 6:15 PM and left at 8:50. It was yummo as usual. Then we drove through downtown La Jolla (where the only SD Melting Pot is) and went to La Jolla Shores to walk on the beach. I had not seen the Pacific Ocean in 5 years. It has a distinct smell very different from the Atlantic Ocean(Chuck says it's the kelp). It was cool but not cold and the water was nice. We then drove over to La Jolla Cove for a look over the cliffs. From there we drove to downtown San Diego and took a cruise through the Gaslamp Quarter. It was packed with people and made driving very difficult. Lots of Saturday night partiers. We would like to explore that area more on less busy nights. There are hundreds if not thousands of restaurants in the Gaslamp.
So we survived 5 years and 3 months of each other with tons of bumps and bruises as well as fun and adventure along the way. We have made lots of new friends to add to our old friends, moved across the country, bought and sold a house, moved back across the country again, added to our family if not through kids (YET!) then through our cat Aria and dog Kassie, both of us changed careers(a couple of times), went through some major medical crisis's such as Chuck's broken feet and his kidney failure and look...we are still married! Here is to the next 5 years...and more!
