40th Anniversary!

We have been asked what we planned to do for our anniversary. Our response has been "Go to Cambodia!" What better way to celebrate 40 years of marriage? They have been 40 amazing, wonderful years!

Since we are having such an adventure, we decided we might expand our horizons a bit. Elder Leavitt asked us if we would like to go to a movie at the VIP theater in the Aeon Mall close by to see the new James Bond movie. It really is not our first choice of shows, but we decided we would join them. $15 tickets included a VIP lounge to wait for movie time. The theater has extra large reclining seats, popcorn and beverage. A pillow and blanket were included! Now if they would just turn down the volume and not kill so many people it would have been better. We might have to try this again with a better movie choice. The theater was great.

Tonight we went to Tell Restaurant for dinner. This is a nicer place which always seems quiet and not too busy. It is maybe five miles away, which means it can take a while in the crazy traffic here. It took us about 35 minutes to drive there and another 30 minutes for the return commute. We were very surprised to have ordered our meals, be served, the be completely finished in 20 minutes. We both ordered Vienna Schnitzel with mashed potatoes. The food was great! A shorter commute would have made it perfect.

Driving home we couldn't help but notice the lights along the road. It looks almost like Christmas! As we approached the Monument this lighted display helps us understand the lights are for the holiday later this month -- Water Festival!
The spotlights are for a Grand-Opening of the new Mazda dealer as seen last night from our balcony. We drove past on our way home and they really celebrating. The showroom was full of women in formal gowns and men in tuxedos, flowers, backdrops and decorations, and of course the new cars on display. It looked like quite the party.
