happy anniversary darling

Today my husband and I celebrate our 24th anniversary.  Next year I will have spent half my life married to this wonderful man.  We were married when I was 25 and next year I will be 50!  We met and married in only three months and 24 years later we are as happy together as when we first met. We feel very lucky.  My daughter and I were walking through the village on our last trip to NY this summer and I saw this writing on a wall...we kept walking and a couple of blocks later I said, "stop, we have to go back."  I had to photograph this...it just says so much with so few words.

    Happy Anniversary Annie---it's a wonderful thing, being married so long. My husband and I will celebrate our 30th (!)this May. Whenever I reflect on how privileged I am to be in such a long lasting and wonderful relationship, I find myself wishing the same for my girls. Your kids have a head start in finding that for themselves because they have your example to inspire them. Congratulations!
