As promised, this is the second of 2 tributes to my little sweetheart.
We'll pick things up where we left off...in the Orchids restaurant. WE were totally pampered with a wonderful 4 course meal of crab cakes, fillet Mignon with a Gorgonzola cream sauce that was surrounded by skillfully roasted fresh vegetables. We topped the night off with dulce de leche cheese cake and Imi's wonderful Hungarian apple strudel.
We then enjoyed a scenic ride home on the stretch limo. It was really nice, extravagant, and just a little embarrassing but what the heck....it's not like we drive around in limos every day you know. Sue drew the line at us riding to church in it the next day though (just kidding). It really was a great night.
On Sunday we celebrated as a family. We had more family over than we ever have had before. It was great to have Sherri, Talon, Addy visiting us so they could join in the festivities too. Add Kari, Will, Jimmy, Hollie, Chris, and most of the kids into the mix and we had an awesome houseful. We really did have a great time, and best of all we got to celebrate Sue's birthday.
I can't tell everyone enough how much I love this little woman. She is everything that a man and a family could hope for in a wife and mother. She is so grounded, pleasant, happy, beautiful....etc....etc. We are all fortunate to have her be a such a vital and vibrant part of our lives. I love our journey together. Who knows what the future will bring but as long as I have Sue along with me....it's going to be great.
Here's to celebrating Sue's birthday and welcome to everyone else as you visit Sue and Ray's "Zion Paradise"
p.s. sorry for the less than perfect photos of the family as we misplaced the camera and I had to take these form a crappy camera phone :(
