Today's blog brought to you by my husband of 29 years

Those of you who know me, know that Kelly has had to put up with an 'engineer' for over thirty years now (29 married today).  So, she has had to deal with a life time of solutions and odd questions about astronomy and crazy formulas to figure out how quickly the tub will drain, etc.  You get the point.  But, today we were talking about our relationship, our children, and how we deal with things. 
I suggested that we compliment each other.  I looked up the defintion for complimentary angles, and it says two angles added together to make a 90 degree angle.  That is not us, we compliment each other to move in the same direction, not apart at 90 degrees.  I think this has been one of the secrets of our sucess.  Our individual strengths are in different areas so, where I have weakness, Kelly has strength, and where Kelly has weakness, I have strenghth.   The result is that the road never gets too bumpy.
I can honestly say, that after thirty years, we have had our fair share of 'tests'.  But, because of the way we compliment each other, we take turns pulling the other through the hard parts.  We stop to celebrate and enjoy the good times.  And we have confidence in our plan, but even more confidence in our ability to deal with 'what is' as we work toward seeing our plan get realized.  I look forward to continuing to try to figure out this crazy world with the girl of my dreams by my side.  Talk to you next time I take the computer away from Kelly.  Happy 29th Anniversary to my wife. I love you,    Donnie
