7 Years ago!!

Wow, last Sunday was my hubbies and my 7 year wedding anniversary. We should have been in Reno but that's life. Instead we took the kids to Dairy Queen and just hung out at home. 7 years ago was a wild time for us. I just got back from a 51 day stay in Canada finishing up my paperwork to become an legal alien resident of the United States of America and I had to get married in a 90 day period once I arrived in the USA or my visa would expire so 3 weeks later my soon to be hubby and his parents and I rented a Toyota Camry and drove to Reno, Nevada to get married. I don't think we ever had a plan really but drive to Reno and get married and I didn't expect much but to have a good time. I'm sure if we had planned it right we would have put our trip off for 2 weeks so we could have gone to hear Jouney in Concert while we were in Reno. Who knew but maybe it was a good thing because we almost didn't make it to Reno. The highway going over the mountains near Shasta closed after we got through and I mean just nearly getting through because my father-in-law had to walk in front of the car to see where the road was because of the massive snow storm in the mountains. It was crazy scary but we made it to the Sands Casino like 6am in the morning and we were all dead tired. The day we got married I didn't know what I wanted to do with my hair and lucky for me they had a hair salon in the casino and I got my hair done professionally. It was perfect. I didn't have a wedding band so I went to the gift shop and bought a $2 mood ring. I couldn't have asked for a better day even though it was raining like mad. I don't know if you have seen the movie The Princess Bride but our minister sounded just like the minister in that movie. The hubby and I were trying not to laugh. After we got married we were like now what and we went back to the Casino and because we got married on a Friday it was Karaoke night. Our song would be forever Elvis Presley: Can't help falling in love. Some dude sang that for us and we danced to it. I would have preferred Aerosmith: I don't wanna miss a thing but everything can't be perfect. That night we also went over to the Atlantis Reno and Resort and fell in love with the place. We go to Reno whenever we can and stay at the Atlantis. That's our place!!!! 7 years have been a wild ride for my hubby and I. Take care, Peace!!
