Happy Anniversary!

Today Jack and I celebrate 44 years of marriage.  Whew, that flew by!   I put in for a vacation day today many months ago and I'm really glad I did.  We had good friends invite us to their daughter's wedding at the Columbus Temple this morning.  It was a beautiful day and we connected with some friends we hadn't seen in a while.  The young bride is a someone I've known since the instant she was born.  In fact, I joked that I got to see her before her parents since I was the scrub nurse on her c-section!   We are very happy to share our anniversary with Elyse and Adam.
Best of luck to you both! 
Happy Anniversary Jack! Love you!
The roses are beautiful too! Although life isn't always a bed of roses, it's an adventure to embrace...
We didn't have a clue what adventures were ahead when we waved goodbye in this photo...and we still don't have a clue!  Happy Anniversary to us!

Hi, YaYa!

I am all verklempt, dear friend. Happy 44th anniversary to you and Jack! Those red roses are gorgeous! The joyous occasion was made even more memorable when your old friends invited you to their daughter's wedding. What a great story to share, that you were the first person to lay eyes on the bride, Elyse, because you helped deliver her in the OR. Congratulations to her and her new husband Adam! YaYa, you and Jack were an extremely photogenic couple on day one of your marriage, and you guys still are today. I am overjoyed for you. Once again, happy anniversary to you and your special man. I wish you many, many more years together!

That tux is classic, I've been married 44 years also, just to three different women.

Congratulations and best wishes for many more to come. May your lives be as wholesome as your blog posts are. May you have lives that are healthy happy and full of the best things life has to offer.

We have been married for 47 years (August 27th 1971 ) . Wow that seems so long time ago but we did not feel the time go by.

Take care of yourselves.

Best wishes
Munir and Ghias

Happy anniversary. I think it is a good thing God doesn't tell us what lies ahead. Probably would scare us too much. Wishing you both many wonderful years together.

Happy 44th Anniversary! We celebrated our 44th back in June-your picture brings back memories-big lapels and ruffled shirts! Glad you were able to take the day off and enjoy the wedding.

Your son and wife are such a beautiful couple!

I loved your own wedding photo. We have been married 45 years, got married in 1072. When we had our own wedding photo taken, we knew absolutely nothing about what we could do, what to expect. But hasn't it been amazing.

I like your writing.
