Today is our 35th wedding anniversary! We started dating in January 1985. My heart skipped a beat the first time I saw him, and I got butterflies in my belly.
We married on October 21, 1989, and we moved to Vermont. We were a family of two until December 1995 when Noah was born.
We remained a family of three until August of 2000 when Sam was born. Then we were a family of four until the boys began leaving the nest.
As empty nesters, we were back to just the two of us at home. It was hard for me when the boys grew up, went away to school, and went out on their own. I was sad.
Now, I am happier than I have been my whole life. My boys are both successful, hardworking, polite, and respectful gentlemen. What more could we ask for?
Then, Noah met Aja, and we became a family of five. The sadness I once felt has been replaced with joy as I watch our family evolve.
As for the two of us? This is the beginning of the best time of our lives as a couple.
After 35 years, we still laugh and joke around all the time. We work hard together and make a great team. We continue to balance each other out.
We enjoy the simpler things in life now and appreciate everything we’ve been blessed with. We know the best is yet to come.
After 35 years of ups and downs, arguments, and making up, we’ve been through births and deaths, good times and bad, but through it all, we still love each other, and more importantly, we still like each other.
Marty still makes my heart skip a beat, and when he looks at me a certain way, I still get butterflies in my belly.
Happy Anniversary Beeky! 🥰
***I left out our beautiful pets over the years and kept the post to my human family even though they were/are important members of our family as well. 💔❤️
