35 years ago I was blessed to marry a wise, wonderful, kind and caring man. I thank God for a wonderful marriage and a great family!
Yesterday we went to my son and daughter-in-law’s house, thinking we were just there to visit, have lunch, and see her mom, who was visiting for a few days. But the kids surprised us with an anniversary celebration!
They got us a couple of special ornaments made by the Photo Barn.
And one of our most special gifts ever – they had this special book made with photos and memories.
Then we came home and took a nap. 🙂 And then we had someone come in to watch Great-Grandma and we went out on a rare date to Outback and then came home and watched a movie. 🙂
Since today is busy with church activities, we did most of our celebrating yesterday, and overall it was a lovely day!
On our 30th anniversary I posted 30 things I love about my husband.All of those things are still true. 🙂
A few years ago Jim made this video for me, and I think I have posted it every year since. 🙂 The song is “The Voyage,” sung by John McDermott, one of the original Irish Tenors.
