Default Today is my 42nd anniversary!

Today is my 42nd anniversary, married to the same man all that time!! I can't believe it has been that long but yet it seems like I've been married forever. There were times when I thought we'd never make it this long, and there were many times when I wanted to just pinch his thick head right off. But there have also been many many times when I wouldn't trade him for the world. I guess I'll keep him a while longer. I mean, after all, I certainly don't want to start all over trying to train a new husband!

One thing is making me feel old though. In the small company I work for, I just realized that I have been married longer than all of our other employees have been alive, except for the General Manager. Talk about feeling ancient!

Congratulations!

I do know what you mean about some days being better than others! And it's way too much effort to try to catch and train a new husband!

Some days "liking" my DH was a stretch - and for him to "like" me was, too!

Congratulations!

I understand about the age with co-workers.... I, too, am usually the oldest person in the room. But when you consider the other alternative, I'll take being the oldest in the room. ;-)

Congratulations! Totally agree with your assessment - next month my DH and I will celebrate 43 years. Some days he is lucky to be alive and other days I know I couldn't do without him. The good days always outweigh the bad and I wouldn't trade him for anything.

Congratulations! We just celebrated 40, and I've had the same feelings you've expressed! In some ways it seems it's been a long long time, but other ways it's going by so fast. I'm so grateful we're in a really good place now. I wish you 42 more!
