Here is a special song that is dedicated to John and Elizabeth today as they celebrate 30 years together to start off with tonight...Shania Twain and You're Still the One...
Wow! 30 years! I just celebrated my 31st not to long ago so I know a little of what 30 years of marriage can bring to a couple...lots of joy, lots of heartache but most of all a lot of love. I don't know John and Elizabeth personally but from what I can see from the outside looking in, they are two people totally and completely in love with each other. Congratulations John and Elizabeth on your day and may God bless you and keep you in his care. It is all our wishes that you two have many many more wonderful years together.
John and Elizabeth always spend their anniversary at Wendy's...open wide John :D
Here is a little background on how they met for those might no already know...
How Elizabeth and John Met:
John and Elizabeth met when they were both law students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Glenn Bergenfield claims he introduced them to one another.
Their first date, dancing at the Holiday Inn on U.S. 15-501, ended with John kissing Elizabeth on the forehead. She says of that kiss, "It was just really sweet. I wasn't used to men being sweet."
Wedding Date:
July 30, 1977, in a small country church near Chapel Hill. It was on the Saturday after taking the bar exam.
Their reception was at the Carolina Inn. They had a two-day honeymoon in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Okay, now for a little Edwards news to go with our celebration...
As usual we have John out front calling again for Gonzales to GO!
Chapel Hill, North Carolina – As Attorney General Alberto Gonzales faces a possible perjury investigation for lying to Congress, the John Edwards for President campaign launched an online campaign today urging Americans to sign a petition calling on Gonzales to resign. In recent weeks, several senior Bush officials have seemed to contradict Gonzales' testimony about internal disagreements over President Bush's domestic wiretapping program.
Senator John Edwards launched his presidential campaign by asking the American people to start taking action today to change our country. Since President Bush has refused to take responsibility for his mistakes and hold the Attorney General responsible for his actions, Edwards is asking the American people to speak out against Gonzales' continuous disrespect for the rule of law. Thousands of Americans speaking out together will send the Attorney General a message that the American people will not accept a politicized Justice Department. Edwards has been an outspoken critic of Gonzales, first calling for him to resign on March 13th, 2007.
"I've said it before and I'm saying it again today for what I hope is the last time," said Edwards. "Alberto Gonzales must resign as Attorney General. The Department of Justice cannot function effectively with the possibility of a perjury investigation hanging over the head of its chief officer. And if that were not enough, the administration's refusal to allow its prosecutors to enforce citations for contempt of Congress guts our Founders' constitutional system of checks and balances."
For every signature on the petition, the campaign will send a copy of the Constitution to the Attorney General. The campaign will also deliver a giant copy of the Constitution to the Attorney General's office if the petition receives more than 25,000 signatures.
The text of the petition is below:
Dear Attorney General Gonzales,
Remember the Constitution that you were sworn to uphold?
Remember what this country stands for?
Remember the laws you were supposed to defend?
If you do, then do what is right, just once, and resign.
John has added YearlyKos on his web site and the times he will be speaking. Oh how I wish I could go! Congratulations to everyone who will be able to attend and get to hear John. We expect a full report!
