27 years and counting!
« on: June 23, 2011, 06:06:50 PM »
Celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary today.
We dated for 7 years before so all total we have been together 34 wonderful years with out so much as an argument.
Not hard to do when you are still infatuated with each other!!!
We spent the day working around the farm together, had a great meal at home and then I went and coached the Little League All Star Team that our youngest son is on while she worked with her flowers.
I am 53 and Leigh Ann will be 48 July 3rd.
I hope all have a marrage that is as good as ours is or better.

Congratulations, Longtom. You should be proud of what your wife and you have accomplished.

BTW, my wife and I will have been married 27 years in December....and we have had arguments...many, but we've always worked through them. Our marraige is stronger now than it has ever been. I think it's proof that the human male can be trained.  ;D

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and congrats to all in return.

Hang in there Dinny, you will get there.

53+ years will be no problem for us as long as I take care of myself better than I use to (health wise).
On that note a little update since my heart attack a few weeks ago.
Seem to be doing fine.
The wife and I are walking a little over a mile and a quarter each morning.
I have cut down on my meal sizes, have dropped about 8 pounds, it's a start.
I have really been working the heart each evening pitching BP to the All Star Team I help coach.
Average about 175 to 200 balls a day.
Shoulder hurts some.
I haven't quit the cigs yet but I am well on my way.
I am down to less than 1/2 of what I was smoking.
I am getting there.
I don't seem to crave them as much so hopefully I can kick them compleately pretty soon.
I can really tell the difference in all that I do.
I have a lot more wind now and the walking doesn't bother me at all.
Before I would have been out of breath after a couple hundred yards.
I will keep at it !!!

Congratulations!

It has been 53 years for me and the wife, two years of wedding bliss and 51 years of mortal combat. 8) 8)  Naw, I tell her every day, "If I had it to do alll over again, I'd do it with you!"
