You Know You Married a Hippie

You know you married a hippie when...

The activity he chooses for Family Home Evening is a drum circle.

He considers his Birkenstock Sandals his Church shoes.

At your house you drink soy milk, even though no one is lactose intolerant.

All the clothing he has ever bought for your children is tie dyed.

He is certain the novel Siddhartha should be canonized as scripture.

At age 5, all of your children cite The Grateful Dead and Phish as two of their favorite bands.

Every morning begins with the ceremonial drinking of the Mate.

His ideal choice for a larger vehicle is a VW bus.

You know what Gamehendge is.

He feels that the most important life lessons he can teach your children is to "fight the man."

He started a FB page to put the Paganism back into Christmas.

You wake up one day and realize that somehow you know that Phil Lesh played bass for The Grateful Dead and that there were two drummers (Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart.)

The solution he gives you when you feel overwhelmed is to meditate.

Your children think every child loves the songs Blowing In The Wind and Puff The Magic Dragon.

He worries that his chalkras are not open.

Even though he is an active mormon, he has some issues with organized religion.

You come home and find him listening to Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl by candlelight.

You look back on the last 15 years, and realize they were filled with peace, love and happiness.

Happy Anniversary Joe.  I love you.
