Thirty

I still have one more day of recap to write in order to wrap up our Portugal trip, but I'm saving that for tomorrow, because today...TODAY hubs and I celebrate thirty years of married life. Whoohoo! Go us! 

Hubs likes photos and loves music, so I put together a little Smilebox to mark the occasion. Before I post the link though, here are 30 random things I noted as I was searching for pictures of just the two of us-  


There aren't many.


When we find a jacket we like we wear it for years. 


We're somehow older.


Although I was sad at the time, I'm glad hubs shaved off his mustache.


360 months. 


My hair!


London. Sob. 


I wish they hadn't figured out tanning is bad for us. 


1565 weeks. 


My girls came into this world adorable and have remained so ever since.


They're grown ups now. 


That makes me far happier than I could have imagined twenty years ago. 


Hubs was a red head. 


To quote lyrics sung by Karen Carpenter, 'I've been so many places in my life and time...'


There's more to see. 


10957 days. 


We like our sunglasses round here. 


Laughter is a good thing. 


We are equally at home in tuxedos or hiking boots. 


six states. 


I need a trip to Paris. 


262974 hours. 


eight cities. 


a million laughs. 


30 amazing years. 


My heart is full. 


One unbroken promise. 


One lasting answered prayer. 


What was still is.


A picture is worth a thousand words-

  7. Oh Joyce, this is the sweetest thing. Thank you for sharing this gift with us. It has given me an idea for our 50th next year. I know! How is that possible? But, I do have a year at least to work on it and prepare myself for that milestone. Your relationship exudes happiness as captured in these picture, which is such a precious thing. And, may I just say, neither of you have aged. May this be another mighty special day that you will remember and be able to include when you recapture memories for your 50th.
