"More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse."
Doug Larson
"A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time."

29 years ago today...we said I do!
We had no idea what that would entail. We learned that marriage is not a fairytale, it is something that requires major personal investment. We learned that, being fully invested in the relationship is not always so easy to do...especially while going through the "raising young children" years. There are many amazing moments with young children, but it doesn't make it easy. Most importantly, we learned that hanging in there through the worst of times (which pretty much all couples go through at some point) was the best thing that we ever did...our history together is what makes us so strong today...and now we are experiencing a good dose of the best of times. I love you Uber H and I feel your love for me strongly. Happy Anniversary to us :)
This morning, we started our day with a 13K LSD (long slow distance)...what a great way to celebrate our union. Uber H took a few pics...although he didn't manage to catch the skunk that strolled across OUR street a few feet in front of us!
Being silly for the camera :)
The beautiful bike trail on the canal.
Uber H looking pretty sexy for a 53 year old ;)
Coming around the Fort - by the water...beautiful area to run in.
Happy Fourth of July to all my friends in the United States!!
Cheers!

WOW! Beautiful pictures, a very moving post (I had tears in my eyes while reading)... and loved the first quote :)

Happy Anniversary! (BTW, you won the sunglasses on my blog, so email me at mom2shoo at gmail.com with your address and which pair you want.)
Happy Anniversary. I wish young people knew how much work it takes to keep a marriage going....I hear many girls say that love is enough. I beg to differ....if it was only that easy!
Happy Anniversary! Great pictures. :)
OK - I will type this again. I just lost my previous post.
CONGRATULATIONS on 29 years together. As you said marriage isn't always easy. I think it is so absolutely cool that you have "found" runing after all these years and it is something that the two of you get to enjoy together. Way to go.
I would love it if my husband were able to run or bike - but he has a really bad back - and has actually been pretty laid up for about the last month and 1/2.
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Happy anniversary!! I hope when Skip and I have been married that long I still have the stars in my eyes about him. Awesome pics!!
