Officially MARRIED

What an unusual day we had on Thursday.
For the first time in 37 years of marriage we have to prove to an organization that we are legally married to one another and not SHACKING UP.

I have never had to PROVE that I was legally married to my Husband.  Our word was enough.  When I said I'm married...it was a reality....a truth.  A cherished union.

My Hubby's Insurance Company is requesting that a Copy Of our Marriage Certificate be on file to continue having insurance with them!  Well HELLO!!!

So we made a trip to the Capital of this fine State of Kansas, TOPEKA.
The sky was blue, but the wind was wild.
Lil Miss laughed as we tried to walk in the wind.  A simple pleasure for a 5 year old, but seeing her LAUGH and SMILE with her face in the WIND was a treat to me as well.  Fun to see and be a part of.


We started the day out by dropping some clothing off at a local Ministry that is new to Town.
Picked up the Mail.
Drove to TOPEKA.
Ate at Long John Silver's.
Went to the Capital and got a copy of our MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE.


Yes, I am officially married and it is on record.  Think I will frame our copy and hang it on the Bedroom wall.  I have our Wedding picture framed already.  


We were on our way to go get COFFEE.......THEN IT HAPPENED.


We saw a Michael Jackson WANNA BE...'so called' dancing on the corner with his personal bicycle laying on the sidewalk.  He was up...down...all around...hips gyrating in FAST MOTION X RATED fashion.  NOT A PRETTY SIGHT especially while stopped at a red light.


REPEAT: NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.
He was VULGAR to say the least.   STUNNED.
My TRAC PHONE doesn't allow me to call 911 to contact the police to report lewd behavior.


NOTE TO SELF: CARRY AN INDEX CARD IN HANDBAG WITH TOPEKA POLICE NUMBER ON IT FOR HELP IF NEEDED.


The man I am officially married to and I started PRAYING OUT LOUD.
At one point of wanna be's performance, I thought he was going to expose his personal plumbing to the public.


I told Lil Miss to look away and lay down so he couldn't see her.  She didn't need to see this pervert acting out his fantasies for attention.


She covered her head with her blanket then we drove away.
  
Onto getting some coffee!
We saw a Pet Store and I decided we'd go see if there were PUPPIES.  This place must have had 30 of them, cats, oversize turtle, birds, fish, snakes and lizards.  It made for a fun stop.
Hobby Shop Stop in a Mall where I saw a few vintage autos.  These would be fantastic to DRAG MAIN in.
MALL STOP so Lil Miss could play in the Play Area.
She worked up an appetite.  Had a cookie.
Drove Home in the KANSAS WIND.

I am officially able to show you that I did indeed get married to my Sweetheart back in 1974!  We have been 'Mister and Misses' for awhile now.  WOWZA.  My word and a signed certificate states that I am married. 


I am blessed.  I am not a wanna be.  The Lord has known us as a married couple since 1974.  


Our Marriage is bliss.
