What a ride. I&#8217;m one of the lucky ones as I love Lori more and more each day. She&#8217;s my calm in the storm and always has my back. Can&#8217;t wait to see what the coming years bring. 26 years ago today we were married at La Posada Resort in Scottsdale. It was a great wedding, probably the second best wedding I&#8217;ve ever been to. Our friends daughters in Aspen still holds the #1 spot. You might remember that from a post years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yesterday I was in Denver by 9am as I had a few errands to run and then met up with Shultz for a cigar and a meeting. After that I met up with a new friend through Tina who is a jeweler in town. I&#8217;d met his dad years ago but never really knew Raz. I found a great gift for Lori and now have a new jewelry guy. Our friend Tina and Robi both said they want to buy the gift if Lori doesn&#8217;t like it. Both of them are out of luck as she loves it! His daughter plays guitar and I&#8217;m trading him an acoustic for $4k to $5k credit next time down! He&#8217;s literally the top guy in town, so they say. I&#8217;ll take Lori down and let her pick out or design something she wants for her birthday. She needs the chain on her new necklace to be a little longer so she can wear it with her other necklace at the same time. So happy she loves it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ty is taking the day off as he&#8217;s been working a ton. I&#8217;m off to the gym and Lori has a big lunch meeting with another group in the Company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lots happening at work. All good, but tons of moving parts. It&#8217;s 6am now as we woke up at 5:30. We were going to go to dinner tonight but will do that another day as Lori won&#8217;t be home until around 6pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it, it&#8217;s surreal to think about all we&#8217;ve done in 26 years. What a ride with hopefully 26 more years to come. God Bless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dogtag-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dogtag-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dogtag-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dogtag-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dogtag-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dogtag-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.2011familymakeover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/dogtag-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lori&#8217;s new black and white diamond dog tag necklace!
