29 August 2011…Finally, we are here to celebrate the day that changed my life years ago. Okay, let’s be honest, most brides even myself didn’t really pay attention to the words “til death do you part”?  I actually never pictured that for me, I suppose In a sense I couldn’t comprehend being with the same person for so long of a time if we didn’t die of an early death.  I didn’t view my parents as a couple so I never reflected on their example of longevity.  I exhale with a sense of disbelief of how fast time as flown by.  At last, here I am on the day that I said, “I do” 19 years ago.

Every year since we were first married I have mechanically played the same song, “It’s our anniversary” (by Toni Toni Tone) which has served as sort of reminder for me to cherish what I consider to be a blessing and to be deeply thankful. Instead of doing a Vacation we decided this year, why not do a, “Stay-cation” and enjoy beautiful Chicago where we met and our journey of life together began.

I wanted to start the day as special as I could

I always advise my clients to have a healthy breakfast but it is okay to deviate as long as you are eating  right, at least 80% of the time based upon your individual dietary needs

Who doesn’t love Cinnamon Raisin French toast with Blueberries Sautée

The early part of our day was spent at the Museum of Science and Industry viewing,

“The Body Worlds Exhibition”

We finished our evening listening to live music by Detour JazFunk at Jazzin at the Shedd Aquarium 

Key No. # 4: My last key in this series which is the ultimate definition of what I feel contributes to a Healthy Lasting marriage:

“LOVE is long-suffering and kind. Love is NOT jealous..does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury,

….it Bears all things, Believes all things, Hopes all things, Endures all things”

In order to benefit you have to apply these principles not just as a couple but individually!
