48th Wedding Anniversary...

So young...

Well, today is DH and I's 48th wedding anniversary!  Hard to believe.  We may make 50 yet... 

Both of us were still at LSUBR when we got married. I had actually finished my BS in Animal Science , but had to be back 3 days after the wedding for the graduation ceremony. DH had a 5 year Engineering curriculum, so he had to finish the spring semester before his graduation. We lived in the married student apartments off campus that spring. It was fun. 

Now 48 years, 3 kids, and 4 grandkids later... I have to say that although there have been tears along the way, it's still fun - and yes, I would do it all over again. 

Our 3 kids have grown into such wonderful adults. We are so proud of them.  Couldn't love them more. And our grandkids... wow! the best ever!  We have so much to be thankful for.  

I hope that I didn't bore you with all this. Certainly don't like to get too personal, but today I'm a bit sentimental and it all means so much to me.  My family, immediate as well as extended and cousins, nieces and nephews, etc. are such wonderful people. How lucky can one get. And friends, personal as well as online mean a lot also. We're not an overly emotional bunch (maybe because my dad was English?), but we *feel* it even if we don't say it. 

OK... enough. Have a great week!

    1. Thanks, Olga. If I look a little dazed, I was... the result of champagne and very little food.
