CJ | Today, Bob and I are celebrating 50 years of marriage! I was 18 and he was 20. We were so young and had no idea what the future was going to be. What an amazing life we have had!! Back then, thinking about 50 years seemed like such a long way away. The time has passed so quickly!!! Bob, I love you and I couldn't have been more blessed than to be married to you. You've always been by my side, supporting and loving me in every way possible. It is interesting that we were married on a Saturday (two days after Thanksgiving) and this 50th anniversary also fell on the Saturday after Thanksgiving!!! It's hard to believe that many years have gone by. We've had a great life together and hope that there are many more years ahead of us. We've had our ups and downs over the years, like everyone does, but we've worked hard and accomplished many good things. I look back at all the places we've lived, all the things we have done. We have two wonderful sons that we are so proud of, Paul and Brian.....two wonderful daughter-in-laws, Angie and Kristal and four very special, awesome grandchildren, Glenn, Garin, Lilith and Logan. In March of 2018, we will be welcoming Oliver who will be our first Great Grandson. Our family is the most important thing to us and we are so blessed. After 50 years, you can't want for anything better than that.

CJ | Thank you to all for the wonderful wishes. Our Prowler friends have been a great part of our life!! bjprowler.......... Thanks for that video. Definitely makes you think about everything that has been part of the journey of life together. Here is a funny story that fits to part of the video. Bob dated a girl in high school (he was a year older than us) that I grew up with. When we graduated in 1966 she went to collage and I went to work. In the summer of 67, I ran into Bob when I took my car into a car dealer. He was working there. He was waving to me and we talked for a while. Neither one of us were dating the people we were with in high school, although we both lied about that!!! lol! We started dating. My friend came home for the summer from college. She found out we were dating and she started calling Bob at work to talk him into go back to dating her. I didn't know that and I had gone to his house one night to pick him up as we were going out. He got in the car and told me that he was not going to see me anymore, that he was going to see her. I was MAD as I knew she only wanted to date him for the summer. So, I took off in my car before he could get out (I kidnapped him I guess) and we had a come to Jesus talk!! Here we are 50 years later. This message has been edited by CJ on 12-07-2017 at 08:37 PM |
