Happy Anniversary To Me~

Here we are-

On a hot August day

in 1975.

Where has the time gone?

If you're wondering

where I am

TODAY-

I am here-

Pictured Rocks National Park

A beautiful place to

celebrate any occassion..

A perfect place to

celebrate a

36th

Anniversary.

When anyone asks how

long we have been married

we respond in unison

36 YEARS.

He says- Seems like yesterday.

I say- Seems like forever.

The straightman

and the

joker.

We make quite a pair.

It has not been an easy

36 years, despite what it

may look like from the outside.

We both came out of broken

relationships....

and probably should have gotten

to really know each other

BEFORE we got married.

We dated 30 days before

we said

I DO

under an old oak tree

in

Alva, Florida.

There were lots of ups and downs

over the years.

Some easy to accept,

others much harder to deal with.

BUT-

If WE can do this-

If WE can hang in there for the long haul,

then I believe that if

two people really

WANT TO

make a relationship work...

they can...

and will...

and should.

You just lean together

and look towards

God

and see what happens.

AMEN
