15th Anniversary

Michael Mina Social House

This year we celebrate our 15th year anniversary. We've been together for about 18 years. I've been with Michelle nearly half of my life. Celebration would be hard this year as our anniversary fell on Thanksgiving. We decided to celebrate on Black Friday.

Nothing fancy this year, we went to Michael Mina Social House in Waikiki. I love the food court concept with alcohol. This place is such a deal. You could buy a pass for $40, this will get you 7 items. You don't get full entrees, but you can get a sample of each places food. The portions were big for a sample size. We were full after sharing 5 items.

We had a chance to talk story and spend time with each other. We've been doing that more since the kids are a little older. It has been a great 15 years as a couple. You go through ups and downs, and really what keeps you together is good communication. It doesn't have to be spot on, but just good communication. We really know where each stands in accordance to life. That makes a huge difference.
