Relationships require tender loving care to stay strong. RancherMan & I are 25+ years in love, y’all. It makes us smile that so many people (including complete strangers) comment that we must be newlyweds.
But like any relationship, it doesn’t just grow on its own. We take steps to keep it strong, we make sure to find time for each other.

Experience gifts last much longer than that plastic toy under the tree. You get to spend special time with the gift recipient, you get to enjoy the experience gift too and those memories last a long time for both gift giver as well as gift recipient.
Are you looking for experience gift ideas too? C’mon in, I’m sharing the experience gifts we’ve given to our grandkids over the last several years.

September 11th, 2001, a day most Americans were changed forever. I worked at an international trade association and they held a huge convention each year in September.
As the Director of Administrative Services, it was part of my job to attend this convention each year along with other executives of our association. It’s a huge amount of work and it takes many hands to assure a smooth successful convention.
This year the convention was in Florida. So I packed the night before to make sure I can get to the airport the next day to make my early-morning flight.
Little did I know this day would change my life and the lives of all my fellow Americans forever!

RancherMan & I decided life seemed to be too busy for the things we felt were really important. So we decided to slow down but live MORE!
But how? And what to replace our busy lives with? We took matters into our own hands to slow our busy lives down. But oh what we replaced it with is priceless.
