WOW!

July 31, 1981

31 years!? 

Thirty one years! 

Did I really get married at 8 years old?  I can't believe that my parents allowed that.  I can't believe a Judge performed the ceremony and that we weren't in a 3rd world country. 

Seriously, it's been a long time!  It really makes me laugh when I think about it.  We've done the whole Clint Eastwood movie theme.  Yeah, we've had the good - the kids, the many homes, the cats, we've eaten really well and he still cracks me up at least once a day; the bad - job lay-offs not so bad because it moved us into something better and we all know how I like to relocate, remodeling mishaps not so bad because he was able to make it better than it was before, difference in opinions not so bad because the kids turned out OK and differences can always be worked out;  and the ugly - illnesses and stuff we have no control over not so bad because he's well now

We're survivors!

Girl, you should come here if you want to see real Texas. That picture was from the reception. Get a load of that cake! Can you see the crack in it where it almost fell over in the car? My mom's friend just HAD to make it for us. She was a 'budding' cake decorator. I don't think she'd had the course on mixing cake color or the lesson on why you wait to put the layers together AFTER you get the cake to the reception.

Congratulations on 31 years of working things out! Tomorrow will be 35 for us.
We're a dying breed you know, the kind that stick with it for the long haul.

Raise a glass to the survivors :)
