46 Years With That Guy, But It Seems Like Only Yesterday

Time flies so fast that I'm having a hard time registering that it's been 46 years with
that guy of mine. It really does seem like yesterday that he left me anonymous notes
and a donut while we worked at Montgomery Ward. We were both so young!


I wasn't even 19 and I was walking down the aisle with him.


Then we started having babies...


...until there were four kids to make our family complete.



Or so we thought. 

Six Monkey Boys later...


...and a couple son-in-laws makes for a pretty amazing 46 years.


Now we're just two old crows ready for more adventures! 

 

Thanks for this life, babe!

  7. So sweet when couples are still in love so many decades later. Wow that older monkey boy must have some giraffe in him because he sure is tall! Unless the rest of you are short? Lol! Basketball player?

  22. That's wonderful! We made 46 last summer, and our first child was born in 1974 also.

    He had a major heart attack in December, but thankfully, we made it to the hospital in time. Praying you and us have many more years together!

  34. Congratulations! 46 years is so fabulous. We were married when I was 21, and had 42 years before Paul died. It is a wonderful thing to spend all those years together and still love each other unconditionally! Here's hoping for many more for you - and great grandchildren, maybe some monkey girls!
