Once upon a time, silver anniversaries were what grand-parents had--or older parents. Legally, today is only Hubby's and my 24th anniversary, but we were living together with no plans for doing otherwise for a year beforehand (stupid Utah landlords who insist on a man and a woman being married). God, we were so damned young, and if I knew then what I know now, I'm not completely sure I'd have done it. But I did, and I have, and I've spent half my life with the man. I'm not counting on a golden anniversary, a couple of times the silver one could have been rendered unattainable. Here's to my beloved, who I don't think has remembered, but he might, and I refuse to be one of those sit-com women who have tantrums because he may have forgotten. I'm just glad to have him next to me in the night--even if he does hog the pillows.

Happy anniversary Connie! Congratulations to you both!

That's a lovely statement, there, Connie. Congrats on your silver-plate anniversary.

And, right there with you; we wouldn't have gotten married except for the whole part where the USG doesn't pay to send girlfriends overseas. (19 years last Wednesday).

Heeeeeee.

Congrats on your silver, Connie and Hubby! For a person who supposedly doesn't care about marriage, I'm awfully sniffly right now.

That's wonderful, Connie, and a lovely tribute. Happy anniversary.

I am on FIYAH today with productivity, both work and personal. Woot!

Connie, you brought a tear to my eye. What a lovely commemoration.

Bless both your hearts and your union.

Go smonster, go smonster, GO.

Congrats, Connie.

Go smonster!

I have to get back to work. Trying to work out my summer travel stuff and it is way complex.
