Happy 43 Years to Us!

Here's a better view of our wedding plate.

 

 

 

 

It all started in 1963 in the hallway of St. Francis de Sales High School,  in Columbus, Ohio.  Two 14-year-olds met, then danced their first dance to The Beach Boy's song "In My Room" at a dance in the gym.  He was the captain of the football team and I was his cheerleader.  I liked to be in school plays and he drove me to practice.  On June 27, 1970, those two kids were married.

 

Yes, we've changed over the years and so have our likes and dislikes .  Our LOVE for each other, however, has never waivered. 

 

We've been through deaths of our grandparents, our dads, aunts,  uncles and two miscarriages.

We've shared the joy of births of our four children and our six grandchildren.

 

He likes hunting, fishing, college football, NFL football, Duck Dynasty, the History and Military channels, and action-packed thrillers.

I like Downton Abbey, HGTV, the Food Network, cooking, baking, sewing, swimming and yoga.

 

How can two very different individuals make it work? 

It's through our never-ending love  and commitment for each other and memories of a lifetime that we cherish of our family and friends.

 

There are years that we were so busy, that we barely remember them.  Thank heavens for photos to remind us what those years were!

 

I believe God put him on earth to love me, to take care of our family and to be a good, supportive   loyal friend to me and to others.    He's the one we always count on and he has done the best job ever.

 

I will be forever grateful for my happy life.  He is my strength and my hero.  Although he has been battling prostate cancer for going on eight years, he has never stopped in trying his best to fight it.  That's how my guy is. 

 

Happy 43 years to my love!
