2. Love is when your wife, who while sitting in your First Class seat, sends back a bowl of Cookies & Cream ice cream for you to enjoy while sitting in her Coach Class seat.
(She knows what I like!)
3. When you've just spent 20 minutes yelling at each other on the shoulder of I-5 while having to change a flat tire on the rental car within the first 20 minutes after leaving the airport . . . all while 18-wheelers are passing you at +70 mph no more than 5 feet away . . . and you're certain you're gonna die any at moment . . . well, love is when you can look at each other after it is all over and start laughing at the fact that you've just had another "Griswald moment"!
(For the record, there was yelling only because it was really loud on the shoulder of the I-5 . . . plus, Kelly thought I was going to die at any moment while changing the flat tire!)
4. Love is having just as much fun as your wife while looking for the Brady Bunch house . . . even though you didn't even like the Brady Bunch!
5. Love is having just as much fun as your wife while sitting in the audience during a taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno . . . even though you don't even like Jay Leno!
6. Love is when your wife repays you for driving her around to all of the Hollywood hot spots by getting you 2 tickets to a baseball game . . . that is, 2 tickets on the 4th row behind the Joe Torre and the Los Angeles Dodgers' dugout at the Anaheim Angels Stadium!
7. Love is flying home from a business trip that felt more like vacation because you took your wife along with you!
8. Finally, love is when your in-laws babysit your 17-month old for 3 straight days so the two of you can get away for a long weekend!
(Now that's love! Thanks again Mimi and Grandpa!)

Thats beautiful, it is always motivational to read stories of joy and true love, especially if kept through stressful situations!
You're a great husband, Wade. Looks like you both had a fun and well deserved trip!
Sounds like an awesome trip. Congrats to you both for all the Love! :)
I think you should recruit Brad to the world of pharmaceutical sales...the perks are awesome!!!
Glad you guys had such a great trip! Like you didn't start singing the Brady Bunch song when you drove up the house Wade...
The two of you are just awesome!
:-)
Loved the story!
Did you have an opportunity to go inside the Brady Bunch house?
I liked the movies, not the show.
Hey Nate, Jennifer, Sarah, Russ, Helen and Trey,
'Preciate it!

Hey Shannon,
Actually I did start to sing the song but then I suddenly began poking myself in the eye with a ball point pen because I thought that would be less annoying!
Seriously, I couldn't stand the Brady Bunch growing up!

Hey Russ,
No we didn't go in - a family actually lives there. But even if we did nothing would look familiar since just the exterior of the house was used on the show, not the floor plan.
But if I lived there, I would totally give tours for $20 a head! Think of the supplemental revenue it would generate!! I would even have astroturf put in the backyard!!
Thanks all for stopping by,
W
Almost two years later, Ryan and Katie are still talking about our pilgrimage to the Brady house, and my students are amazed when they see the picture in my classroom. (Yes, I have a framed picture of me and the kids standing on that same sidewalk!)
Glad y'all could enjoy the get-away, especially after the stressful hospital stay and all.
