    5 years and Counting

    Well today we celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. It's been wonderful, it's been terrible, it's been tiring and exhilirating but it's been together

    ...we decided to sign up for 50 more

    Here's our official wedding pic (bought rights to reproduce and use my negs...so it's legal

    and one Rick took at the NY gathering last year...

    It's hard to find couples that actually realize that their vows are a covenant they make to each other and God. Most think they have an "options" package if things get rough...


    Thank You

    I'm impressed---after reading your traumatic situation with your D70---and what time of night you had...it made me think of my sweetheart....

    Larry leaves the house at 6:30am drives an hour and a half.....he's going to school online, so he does homework (most of the time) during his lunch hour...drives home and gets in about 6:30-7pm...to give the little ones a bath and give me a mental break, gets them ready for bed,eats dinner, puts them to bed spends about 15 minutes listening to my day and then starts on the rest of his homework about 9:30pm and sometimes works till 1am....only to start agin the next morning....

    It seems "family systems" that share the load generally tend to be the most productive...Thanks and cheering you on to 50 more

    Yes, the dreaded Tiara Incident. Eeeghhh.

    Let's just put that ugly incident behind us and move on. ;-)

    It's been over six years for Dawn and myself, and they've been the best years of my life. I trust the five years you and Larry have together have been as great as ours. And I truly wish you many more wonderful years together. :-)

    Re: 5 years and Counting

    Wonderful Nat!!!! I am very happy for you and Larry. Five is a milestone these days. Joy use to ask me each year at our anniversary if I would renew for another year, it got to be a real thing with us. On our 30th I said what the heck I think I'll just renew for another 30 this year and save you worrying all year if I'm going to reup or not. Hope you and Larry have the kind of wonderful ride thru life that Joy and I have had together.

    Congratulations! "It's been wonderful, it's been terrible, it's been tiring and exhilirating but it's been together" This is a great quote, you don't always know what each day will bring but you have each other to share the happiness/misery/fun/sorrow with. We had our 8th this year, my wife is a very patient woman...

    Congratulations Nat! There are certain couples that just seem to belong together and I definitely got that vibe from you two last year, even with the brief amount of time we got to hang out. Here's to many more years to come!

    I'm working on 27 years

    of bachelordom and though I wouldn't trade it for the world hearing stories like you guys' makes me wonder what it would be like...

    .. and then the headache dies, the swelling goes away and I get back to thinking normal

    Seriously, I'm sending love and blessings up there to you guys and I give my best thoughts to your next 50 (plus!) years together; and agree with Danielle that you guys are like peas in a pod

    By the way, I still owe you guys a thank-you present for the last time!

    See you guys!
