day 1 of the next 25 years

 

“holding hands”

 

Yesterday was our 25th wedding anniversary.   There were beautiful flowers, heartfelt messages and cards, and a lovely romantic dinner, reminiscent of our trip to Italy… yet how does one even begin to write meaningful post about something like this, without sounding like a smarmy greeting card?  I had to leave that to my beloved partner, friend and husband – Mark.  He sent me an email early this morning:

Happy Day 1 of the next 25 years!

Yes.  Just ….. yes. 🙂

As we near Thanksgiving, and celebrate this personal milestone, I am reminded of how beautiful my life is, that I am well-loved by an amazing and inspiring family, and that I can think of no person I would rather continue on this journey with than my husband Mark.

A very happy Day 1.

    Awwww, congratulations to you and Mark on your 25 great years together. I can’t wait to meet him. My wife and I will be celebrating our 7th in a couple weeks…maybe I’ll steal his line. But I don’t think “Happy Day 1 of the next 7 years” has the same ring to it.

    Congrats on your anniversary! You and I share something very unique. To spend one’s life with a spouse that is a best friend, partner, and the love of your life is a gift. Though we have not been married twenty five years I am grateful for each day with my beautiful wife and all of the excitement and smiles that she and our kids bring to my life.
    I hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving together!
    And yes, now it is time to ride!

    Congratulations!

    Tell your husband thanks. I’m going to steal that idea for my 20th anniversary. Very cool.

    Love the “bikes-holding-hands” pic. 😀
