Our 50th Anniversary

Today is our anniversary!  We have been married for 50 years and what a ride it has been. With many ups and downs, our life has never been dull. We have three wonderful children and six very special grandchildren.

We have had fifteen homes and two recreational cottages and have lived in ten different cities/towns. We even traveled across the country to the west coast. We have seen so many changes over the past 50 years as the world evolves but the one thing that does not change is love. We still love each other as much today as we did on our wedding day. Even more as our love has grown year by year.

My husband is so special and he is a great father. His family has always come first with him and he is the best husband ever. The road may have been a little rough at times but we traveled it together - side by side - all the way. When we got married, some skeptics said that we would not last a year because we were complete opposites. But opposites attract and we compliment each other. What he does not like to do, I do and vice versa. We work so well together and share everything from child raising to housework to yard work and renovations. We are a team and I have the best partner ever! I love you Norris.

Happy Anniversary!!!

  26. Mis felicitaciones por esas bodas de ORO, aunque los caminos de la vida sean de rosas siempre tienen espinas, pero para disfrutar de las rosas hay que pasar un poco de todo y eso nos hace crecer como seres humanos, de todo se aprende y el amor vence.
    Un abrazo
