Today is Ron & my anniversary. 20 years ago we were married. While we have mostly lived a charmed life, I have to say we've had our share of bumps and bruises along the way. However, I'm most proud of the fact that every day I am thrilled to wake up by his side and wish we could spend each day together just playing instead of going off to work and our daily chores.
To get to 20 years and still love to spend time together, talk until the wee hours, laugh and play is, to me, the definition of a successful marriage. He is my best friend, the first person I want to call with good news and the person I lean on when the news is bad. I trust him completely and am in awe of his mind!
OK - I know, it sounds gushy - but I didn't set out to write an ode to Ron, I just thought I haven't written much of late and today would be a nice day to write. Whenever I sit down to write, I tend to go with whatever is on my mind and today, that's my husband!
Life is busy. I am working on creating a foundation for the city of Redmond and it is exciting and hard work. Mostly my time is spent meeting with everyone I can in the city to talk about ideas, what's needed and what will engage the community to support a foundation. There are as many ideas as there are residents and my job is to find where they all intersect. Then I have to wrap it up in a neat package, incorporate, get 501(c)(3) status and put together a board of directors that are top notch! Exciting stuff and only a bit intimidating!
The good news is that everyone I have met with so far has been enthusiastic and helpful (even those that are a bit skeptical).
The bad news is that it's very hard to focus on a theory paper when there's so much work to be done! Guess I'd better stop blogging and get to work on my sources!
