Happily Ever After

Today is a special day.....our wedding anniversary!  41 years ago, we promised "to have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, and live happily ever after."  Wait.....that last part wasn't in there, was it?

But we are living "happily ever after"......just like in the fairy tales.  Has every moment of every day been perfect?  No.  That's not how real life is.  But through the ups and downs and ins and outs of real life, we are happy and content and committed to each other.  And I love that man more than I ever would have thought possible!

Today we're flying out to the West Coast.  It's a combination business trip (for him) and then a few extra days to enjoy Oregon.  Since I've never been to Oregon before, this is another check off my bucket list.  Only two more states to go, and I will have been in all fifty!!

Today we're celebrating......as we do every day.  Every day of life is cause for celebration!  Today we celebrate our 41 years of marriage, and look forward to the years ahead.  Today we celebrate how much we love each other.  And today we celebrate that not only do we love each other more and more each day......we still like each other!  After all these years!

Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!  I wouldn't want to do life with anyone else!
