As many of you might know, I took my wife to celebrate our fifth anniversary to Branson, Missouri. Let me just say that was the best adventure of my life. Although the trip started off with a snag as our flight got canceled. I speedily ran through the entire Denver airport until I finally found another flight to take us to our destination. The only thing was the flight wasn't on a plane it was a helicopter. It took quite a bit of convincing to get our airline to get us on the Helicopter, but once I spoke of my true love for Becca and our fifth anniversary, they immediately said there is no more of a noble cause than this and they booked me and Becca onto the helicopter.
This was our first helicopter ride ever. The pilot even let Becca fly for a bit while he talked about the only thing a woman remembers on her wedding day is the aisle where she was married, the alter, and the hymn that was sung on her wedding day. That is to say the only thing she remembers is "aisle alter hymn." After we landed we in Springfield, Missouri, we then headed to get our rental car a hot pink convertible (per Becca's Request). Off we went to Branson in style.
Once in Branson we watched the sun set into the Ozark Mountains just above table rock lake. There Becca told me she was the "happiest girl in the world." She had no idea what was yet to come. The next day we went to the Dixie Stampede show. This was a wonderful time and when we were there our names were called out from the audience because we were there on our fifth anniversary and we got to ride an Ostrich around the arena in a race. Becca's Ostrich must have been eating it's Wheaties that day because she got off to a huge lead. But then my Ostrich riding skills took over and we ended in photo finish and tied the race.
Our last day we were set to go see the group SIX. I had planned something special this night for Becca, if only she knew what was coming. Before the show started she said "I don't know how this can get any better." We got front row tickets to the show and were right in the center. SIX was an amazing group that was an all vocal experience.
Little did Becca know but I served my mission with one of the singers and had pre arranged a little something. Towards the end of the show the lead singer of SIX called Becca up from the audience. She was so surprised. Then while she was distracted, I hurried over to the backstage and came up through a trapdoor in the floor right behind her and sang the song "The Way You Look Tonight" and SIX was my backup. Becca was in love all over again.And that was L'aventure de l'amour.

That, my dear, was an amazing celebration of our fifth year of wedded bliss. You left out the part where you pulled out a sparkly 2 karat diamond and asked me to marry you all over again and of course I said, 'yes'. But then again, it's hard to remember all details of our "L'aventure de l'amour" as every minute was action packed. Thank you for the memories, my darling. An adventure never to forget for sure.
I didn't want to make anyone jealous.
I think I'm in love with you Ben!
