Wedding Anniversary

Today my husband and I celebrate our 59th Wedding Anniversary.  Fifty Nine years ago, our celebration began at 3 p.m. and the church didn't have any air conditioning nor did the building for the reception.  Needless to say it was a very hot day in Torrington, Wy.  Comparing it to today in Cheyenne, there isn't any comparison as we are having a cool rainy day today.  The weather didn't matter to us, because we were just excited that this was the big day to join as one.  That we indeed did and we have become one more and more as the years have gone by.  We often find ourselves saying the same thing at the same time, or one of us is saying it and the other one laughs and says "I was just thinking that." We went to early morning Mass this morning and asked the priest for his blessing, which he very readily gave us.  We had a tee time to go golfing, but by the time we arrived it was drizzling and very windy, so we went in and cancelled our plans to golf.  Our daughter Val was going with us, so we went to the coffee shop and enjoyed a hot cup of coffee and a beautiful time of visiting.  We drove by the apartments we own and there was our daughter and son-in-law working in the yard. They heard us say we had some urgent yard work to do and they went and did it! We planned to go to an early dinner, but by the time we had lunch we decided we wouldn't go to dinner.  So as you can see our plans all went astray, but it doesn't matter as we did what we both wanted to do and it was a beautiful day! We are greatly blessed and we thank God every day for all of his graces and blessings.  We are thankful for each day and thankful that we still have each other.  Our beautiful family is a treasure to us and we are grateful for each one.  It seems like our love for each other would have reached a peak, yet we find we are more in love and appreciate each other with every day we have.  Marriage is work and now in the twilight of it all we are retired and enjoying the fruits of it all.
