Twenty years ago today, I married my best friend. Divorce separated us briefly, but love prevailed, and we have celebrated the 4th of July, our "Dependence Day," for each of those twenty years. Our house is about 100 feet to the east of the Arkansas River. Every year in Tulsa, a huge fireworks show called "Boom River" lights up the sky, and all I have to do is sit in my front yard to watch it.
It's pretty cool to have the whole town celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary.
