Just wanted to mention that yesterday, January 20, 2011 marked the 32nd anniversary of the day my hubby officially proposed.
I accepted.
For some reason, this date means more to me than our actual wedding date of June 8, 1979.
It began the true adventure of what commitment and bonding really means. From the excitement of announcing the engagement and waving my diamond ring around to the utter despair of planning a wedding with no money and too many opinions, the emotions ran both hot and cold.
Truthfully, at times they still do.
But I have to give a big shout out to my wonderful husband, Don, whom I both adore and want to slap upside the head most of the time.
I, on the other hand, am a saint(ahem).
Through Don I learned commitment, tolerance (ahem ahem), integrity and true humility.
The last 32 years have been healing and challenging and I look forward to the next 32 years with him as my best friend, devoted mate, and support system.
I learned how to remain faithful to God despite tribulation and in spite of downturns in our circumstances. I learned to give love and receive love.
Hopefully I've taught him a few things along the way.
So, here's to you, Babe. I dedicate the next terrible kung fu movie I watch to you.
It's true!
