Every year Tony and I take the kids to the Ohio Renaissance Festival. It is by far one of the most fun things we do as a family, and in our opinion it never gets played out. We genuinely love it. Each year since we got married, we have gotten a festival mug as our little tradition. This year, we decided to start a new one. This year, we decided to renew our wedding vows. We got a little certificate to prove it! It was a really awesome experience. I thought that it was going to be something small, and casual. No big deal. But it was more than that. It was significant. It really felt like we were redevoting our lives to one another in a very real way. And like a big baby, I cried. From now on, during our yearly trip to the Renfest, we will do this again and again. It will be our yearly recommitment to each other, and our family.
We really went against the grain this year. Usually, we follow the same routine of shows, games, shops. This time, we saw shows we hadn't seen before, and walked into shops that we'd passed over in the past. We even bought the horribly overpriced and terribly cliche turkey leg (which I suspect may actually be ham). All in all, it was a fantastic day. So with a hearty HUZZAH! And a wish of a gentle evening. I bid thee farewell. (I know, I'm a nerd).
