Anniversary!

November 17th. was Ronnie and my 32 Anniversary. Wow, where have the years gone, we grew up

together. He He We were both 20 when we got married, I had barely been out of the state of WV.

He was in the army stationed at Fort Belvoir, Va. We were married 3 months before we could save

up enough money for down payments and rent to get an apartment. And the first week, we ate a cheese gift

set that his grandma sent us for Christmas.  I was such a naive country girl when we got married, I remember

one time we were invited to a party.

  Well it was a party like I had never attended before. There was drinking and other things I won't mention,

but you have to rem. that was the seventies man.

 Well I looked at my husband and said that I didn't like that party , where in the world was the cake

and ice cream. He He Being in the army he had been exposed to the world more than I had.

  Now look at us, we have 2 grown children and 3 beautiful grandbabies!! I have so much

to be thank for for. We went from a roach infested pink appliances apartment to a home of our own,

nothing fancy but our part of the American dream.

 Well hubby sent me some flowers for our anniversary and we went to a little country inn for dinner, We had

a relaxing evening.

 Would I marry Ronnie again, yes I would in a heartbeat, do I have any regrets. Well yes I do,

I used to love the Bee Gee's,( you young girls won't know who I am talking about). They came

to D.C. for a concert when my hubby was in the army. We didn't have money to go to the concert, but do

I ever regret not going to see them. I should have borrowed the money. He He

Since my Lilly girl had died several months ago, Ronnie's brother has given us his shelty, Bo, he is a new addition to our family.
So much to be thankful for. And I feel like I am a little wisher now to the world. He He
And Ronnie I hope we have another 32 years together.

Happy Anniversary! Oh, the BeeGees - I was going to grow up and marry one of them! I had a poster of them on my bedroom wall in the 70's. My kids think it is hysterical when I tell them this. If we play "guess who sings this song" on the radio and no one can guess, I tell them it is my future husband..... ~Ann

Happy anniversary to you both. That's quite an accomplishment especially these days. It has been 36 years for my hubby and me. And yes I do remember the Bee Gees when Saturday Night Fever was a hot movie. What a nice pic of you and hubby. Time does slip by so fast the older we get. Cherish everyday like there is no tomorrow.
I am thankful everyday for my hubby and our life together and my daughter and granddaughter. I wouldn't change a thing.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY a bit late.
You have a beautiful family surrounding you!
I think I would have done everything I could have to see the Bee Gee's - one of my favorites at the time.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Leica, that is the sweetest story! My first marriage was in 1970 and, oh, do I remember being in love. Those were the days, weren'tthey? We lived in an unfinished basement apartment. I remember living off $28
A week unemployment but it was all great.
You and Ronnie seem to have done very well for yourselves. May you enjoy another32 years!
