H is for Husband of One Amazing Wife

My wife is  amazing and I am married to her. That makes me the husband of one amazing wife.  

We were married 27 years ago this week. Our wedding reception was at a roller rink,  It was the wedding of Dave & Amy Roller, so it seemed like the best venue.

Our wedding was the first wedding we attended as a married couple.  The most recent wedding we went to was Our niece's wedding a few days after Christmas last year.  After the wedding Amy and I hung out at a mall and we did a little goofing around. There was a photo booth kiosk where you could get a comic book style cover with your picture on it.

Not much more to say after that picture.  To get back to the A to Z Challenge page click here.  To see the A to Z Master List click here.

G is for Giraffe Lover

G is for Giraffe Lover

Exactly 10 years ago today my A to Z post was about giraffe poop.  My theme was nouns and each entry was about a person, place or a thing.  Giraffe Poop is a thing.  

My favorite animal is the giraffe.  It hasn't always been my favorite animal.  This is because it wasn't until my earl 20's that I had a favorite animal.  Then I started hanging out with Sheryl Ryan.  I met Sheryl when she was a Junior in high school and I was a volunteer for Campus Life, a parachurch youth group.  We got to be friends and I would often hang out with her at her house.  It became obvious that her favorite animal was the giraffe.  She had a whole bunch of giraffe memorabilia in her room.

It was then I discovered that I did not have a favorite animal.  So I just stole hers.  That was the mid 80's now 40 years later my favorite animal is still the giraffe.  Yes, I once was fascinated by how they poop. But there is so much more to them than that.  I love that they don't make noises.  I love that they are majestic and awkward at the same time.  I love that giraffes newborn giraffes are about my size 6 feet.  I like how they eat leaves.  I'm just enamored with them.

I also love that I have visited many zoos over the years with family and friends and I have had many opportunities to share my love for giraffes with my family.  I love discovering what kind of animals my family loves. From wolves, to rabbits from snakes to elephants, from turtles to giraffes, learning about and loving animals is something I'm so glad to continue to share with my family.
