After 33 Years

4 kids,
1 daughter-in-law and 3 son-in-laws,
5 grandchildren,
25 years of milking cows,
a lifetime of farming,
nearly 14 years of teaching,
visits to 4 continents,
volunteering in our community,
and with God's blessings -
I'm so glad I married him!

Happy Anniversary, Bob!   Love you!! 

As a good friend wrote to us, it's one-third of a century!!  Yesterday morning (our actual anniversary date) as we were flying home, I said to him, "Did you ever think 33 years ago that we would be flying to New York to visit our grandson, or that we'd have 4 married children, or that we'd have lived a life filled with so much goodness? "  And his answer - "I couldn't have imagined where life would take us!  There's  been so much more to it than I ever thought."  And I agree whole-heartedly!!
