Here's to Us!

Today Mark and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. I guess it’s a milestone in one way – 25 years is a long time – but in another way I remember our wedding day as if it were yesterday. Sometimes I wonder how the years could have possibly flown by so fast.

We’ve had a good life so far. We have two grown children and a precious grandchild. We live a simple life in a small town. We’re like most people….we’d like more but, honestly, we have all we need.

I’m grateful for what we have together. We’re best friends. He’s easy to live with…he makes me laugh, he keeps me sane, and he's my biggest (365) fan!

When I took this picture of the little Black-eyed Susan I noticed the leaf overhead. It looks like it’s providing shelter to the flower. I can relate this picture to the two of us. Mark is always looking out for me, providing support, and trying to shield me from the rough parts of life.

So, as my new friends, I hope you’ll join us in celebration today!
ahh wow congratulations! this is a lovely photo aswell! hope you have had a wonderful day :D

Happy, Happy Anniversary. I love how you describe your life together.
How blessed you are. Sounds very much like my husband and myself after 31 years. We have no idea where they have gone. I am so in love with him. He is always watching over me. Congrats to you.
