36 years of Connubial Bliss. . . and counting. . .
Thank you, My Beloved, for throwing your life (and your DNA) in with mine, these 36 years. I am utterly grateful. . .
-------------------------
It might have been six years ago, when we were celebrating our 30th, that I stopped at the store and, in preparation for the anniversary festivities, bought a dozen roses, a box of Jenn's favorite candy, and a magnum of champagne. As I was checking out, the clerk, a woman about my age at the time, looked at me with wide eyes, and sputtered, "WHAT DID YOU DO?!?"
-------------------------
And it seems a fitting observance that this coming weekend, Jenn and I will be helping to put on a retreat for married couples at a parish Up North, not far from my hometown (of course, when you're Up North, 'not far' is still an hour's drive. . .)

Aww! Congrats, Craig! I'm always happy to hear good marriage stories! We just celebrated our 30th last week.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe and wonderful weekend!
Congratulations to you & yer hubs! 30 years is a big deal!
DeleteKinda like Fenton is not far from Laingsburg, eh?
ReplyDeleteMaybe; kinda. But, rural as it is, you pass by a whole lot more people getting from Fenton to Laingsburg, than you do from Tawas to Alpena. . .
DeleteWell congrats, we're just an odd 6 years behind you at 30! ....
ReplyDeleteAnd Congratulations to you and Queenie! What I said to Bijoux - 30 years is a big deal!
DeleteCongratulations! I first read this and thought you have been a pot head for 36 years.
ReplyDeleteFunny story, great punch line.
Connubial, not cannabis. . .

36 years. Wow. We've been married approximately 2/3 as long. We'll both be in our seventies if we make it as long as you guys. Knowing my habits, I'd lay odd against it. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWell, we'd both love to go Golden, but that means both of us being 74. Not outrageous, but still, we're getting into the realms where health is less and less of a given. . . So, we'll just be grateful for today. . . And the 36 years we've had already. . .
