34 Years Ago Today!

We are away, celebrating 34 years of a happy marriage today!

Look at those young faces! I remember looking at my wedding album and thinking we would never change.

Yes, change has come, but it has been the change that comes from happiness, and love, and many years of living through both the good times and the hard times in our life together. There was never a happier day in our lives as the day we were married, until the ones when our children were born, and now we await a wonderful new happiness of the birth of our first grandchild!

Now, as we are look forward to celebrating the second half of our lives together, we give thanks for all our blessings.

"Give thanks for the little and you will find you have a lot"

    Congratulations.
    We can't help but celebrate the milestones and thank God who made marriages something that he thought was good. Mankind has destroyed them. God knew what he was doing.
    Blessings for many more years together.

    Happy Anniversary! Your picture is beautiful. Doesn't time fly by? I know you must be so anxious to hold that little baby. I tell you I never knew I could love anyone as much as my granddaughter. She is so much joy and gives me hope. I can't wait to see a picture of your little fella.

    Oh Congratulations! But I must say you do not look old enough to have been married that long!

    Hope you had a wonderful get away.

    I just got home today and thought I would pop in and say hi.

    I'll be stopping by more regular again now I'm home.

    I'm so tired. Had a blast but now I need a vacation to rest up from the vacation I just got back from.

    Hugs
