It started out so innocently . . . his friend invited him to a football game. My friend said it was a double date. We barely spoke. He watched the game – I pouted. I became furious later when, while walking across the field toward the bus stop, I fell into a hole and he laughed instead of helping me up.

We were 15.

At 16 we began seriously dating.

And so it continued through high school – on again, off again, not so serious, very serious.

At 19:

I hope to have an updated picture taken this weekend. Hubbymoose and I both have to work on our anniversary, but I think we may head out on a road trip Friday after the grandgirls go to school. I told his boss today that he canNOT work on his days off this week. We’ll see.

Happy 43rd anniversary, Art. It’s been an interesting 47 years (4 years dating – 43 married) going on forever with you. I am thankful for it all.

    my parents are about to celebrate 43 years (June something). They grew up on the same street and started dating in high school.

    Your pictures are awesome. You were a beautiful bride.

    Happy Anniversary

  4. In an age where marriages break up so readily it is always a pleasant surprise to hear about those who are still keeping it together. Congratulations. I do hope you get a little time away!
