Thirty Two Years Ago Today I Married My Best Friend

Thirty two years ago today, September 9, 1978, I married my best friend.

It hasn't all been perfect - it certainly wasn't easy. We didn't always know where the money was going to come from to pay the bills, but we always knew we would be ok. We always knew we had each other.

I supported him when he really wanted a dog, when he really wanted a pool table, when he really wanted a boat...even though we couldn't afford any of them. I eventually forgave him when he bought the motorcycle even though he knew I was dead set against it.

He has supported me through panic disorder and anxiety attacks, healthy lifestyle changes that replaced his favorite foods with spelt and rice substitutes. He supported me starting my business and filling the house with staging props and he has somewhat accepted my addiction to ActiveRain, now referring to himself as a "laptop widower."

We have had a great life together so far, but I think the years ahead will be even better.
