Eighteen Years

Not my typical post today: sorry to those of you hoping for a Smoothie
recipe or a zucchini protein muffin recipe that I might have promised
at the beginning of the year (oops).

Yesterday was our 18th wedding anniversary. I'm fully aware that I am
one lucky girl to have found Derek back when neither of us had grey
hairs. Thanks to Goldwell 6NN/5NN, I still don't ;-) Speaking of
which, why can men like Derek pull off that grey look so flawlessly:
think George Clooney or Anderson Cooper?

I'm far away from my laptop and I hadn't even had email for four days.
But this was our view minutes ago and I wanted to share it while I had
a signal.

Next week, I'll make good on that zucchini protein muffin I promised,
and you can thank my newest de-lurker extraordinaire Lindsey for
calling me out on my 'promise' (sorry, Lindsey I can't hyperlink from
my iPhone)

Q: have you recently celebrated something special? Or will you soon
(cough, Eden, cough)? Any grey hair confessions?

A very happy anniversary to you two! 18 years seems like a milestone for sure. We just hit 10 years married this past spring and with any luck, and plenty of "yes dear's" or "ok sure honey's" on Scott's part to me..we'll have a lot more happy years. And you guys too! :)

Okay, now I can open your post and comment. Ignore my email! :)

Happy Anniversary! Beautiful photo! Have fun!

Congratulations! I'm trying to be patient and wait for the photo to load, but as I'm waking up at 5:45 am these days I may not have time before hitting the hay. Wow, is my internet slow. Good thing I'm not blogging or anything.

I think of you every day when using my gums. I actually *just* finished the little bag you gave me in the desert over a year ago! (Cuz I had my own)

This is a wonderful milestone. Congrats and whoo to the hoo on the grey hair. I give Chris new ones every day.

Lindsey said...

Glad I could spur you on. Enjoy your vacation and I will look forward to the recipes when you get to it :-)

lindsay said...

happy anniversary to one of the strongest relationships I "know." You two make it work and with such love and respect. Cheers to 18 more years!

Amanda said...

Happy Anniversary you two! Enjoy the view, it's gorgeous.

I'll be celebrating my birthday on Sunday. By celebrating, I mean ripping out gray hairs. I have more than Andy. ugh.

tam said...

Congrats pretty lady x x

Susan said...

Happy Anniversary to you and Derek. It's nice having someone to watch the sunset with : )

McIntosh said...

Oh wow...eighteen years! You both are so lucky to have found that kind of love....enjoy and celebrate (:

As for recent celebrations (if you can call it that) I had a b-day which passed uneventfully since I really don't pay much attention to the number thing. Heard a great quote about age: If you didn't know your chronological age, how old would you be? (paraphrased from Satchel Paige!)

Hmmm...I think my greys are somehow hidden in my blondish hair cause I'm sure they are there or should be!

Happy Anniversary to such a beautiful jet-setting couple! I know you are enjoying yourselves.
I just celebrated 15 years 2 weeks ago. Boy time sure does fly, it doesn't seem like it was that long ago.
I have gray hairs, but I haven't colored it - yet!
I sure wish I were a fly on the wall for Eden's birthday festivities. So I am demanding a video blog post! Do it!! It would be a scream seeing all 3 of you (or however many it will be) together having a blast!

Happy Anniversary!!! xoxo

Julie said...

18 years is amazing! probably ALMOST as amazing as your to-be zuke muff recipe. i don't think i'll make it to 18, i don't think a man will be able to remain sane with me for 18 days hahaha

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) said...

Averie- "Yes Dears" are the secret to a happy marriage, no?

Andrea- thank you and sorry Blogger gave you trouble commenting (you arent' the only one. In fact, it nearly didn't post- must be having an 'off' day :-) )

Tiff- so THAT's why Derek has the grey hairs...I caused them...makes perfect sense actually :-)

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) said...

Lynn- thank you!

Lindsey- thanks for spurring me on with the zucchini muffin. Eden tried to nag me about it but gave up :-)

Lindsay- thank you, very sweet comment.

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) said...

Amanda- Your birthday on Sunday! Yay! We'll double celebrate next week with Eden!

Tam- thanks Lady.

Susan- Thank you- Derek kept reading your comment out loud to me- loved it. So true. It's hard to see, (and how?) but this was a sunrise over the SF Bay bridge.

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) said...

McIntosh- WOW you're blond? I always felt that you were a brunette!?

Missy- DEMANDING a video eh? Well, maybe ;-)

Pure- thanks girls :-)

Julie- not true- you just haven't found Mr. Right yet. He's out there.

Jenn (GH) said...

Happy 18 years to two truly amazing people!!!!! xoxo

McIntosh said...

Yeah...blonde-ish is the operative word though...it's gotten darker (more grey?) as the years progress. But hey I earned those greys and wrinkles (:

Hope your kitten caboodle is being well-taken care of while you and hubby frolic in the sunset!

damnthefreshman15 said...

18 years? That's major street cred! Congratulations, and happy Anniversary!

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) said...

Jenn- thank you and I hope I can see you before you embark on your adventure!

Mc- yes we earn every darn thing at this point!

Mimi- thanks - at our age, Street cred is pretty amazing! hahah~! hope to see you soon!

azusmom said...

Happy anniversary!!!! So you guys go married when you were 2? :)

Elina (Healthy and Sane) said...

Wow, I know I'm about a week late but congratulations! Here is to 18 more... and another 18 after that :)

Deb (Smoothie Girl Eats Too) said...

Azus- haha right! ;-)

Elina- thank you. Yes, we'll be plenty ripe and old after another 36 yrs. I'll be on the lookout for a great set of rocking chairs.
