It's my 28th Anniversary !!
28 years ago, I was a messed up young lady searching. I remember the day I decided I was ready to get married. My only problem was, there was no man in my life. Oh, some flitted in and out, but no one special.
I was so fed-up with the prospects in my area, I decided to quit my job and move to California with a friend. I had going away parties and sell offs of personal possessions. In the final months before I was to depart, I met him. DAMN !!! He was someone I had met before, thinking just maybe he was the one. But it did not work out then. And here he was. I told him I was moving, but ( little did I know how he worked), he kept at me. Finally, I started to wavier. Then a series of events occurred to change the course of my life forever. I was pregnant. Moving was now out of the question.
So I did move. In with Dave. Then we were married on Jan 8, 1983.
Would I change anything ? NO ! I have a beautiful 28 years old daughter who is married to an amazing man. They have 3 beautiful angels, my trio is what I call them.
11 years after my daughter, I was gifted with my son. Little did I realize 11 yrs earlier what a gift my daughter was.
Every year I tell my husband, I can't believe I've been with the same man for this long.
Here's hoping for 28 more !!!
It's funny how our lives unfold. You never know where it will take you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and Dave.
Wishing you many more years with the man of your life. We have been married for 36 years and it amazes me every time I think about it. How did this happen? We were only 25 just last year, weren't we? Well, probably not since we have a 32 year old daughter!
ReplyDeleteWell, almost 2 years later and I just saw your comment. Thank You ! Tomorrow is our 3oth ! We are celebrating in high style and going to Florida next month, Orlando area for 8 days, with my daughters family and our 18yr old son- his senior year in high school. We are hoping this will be a forever memory maker the girls, now 11,9 and 8, will remember forever.
