35 years

*
Today is our anniversary. DW and I have been married for 35 years! Just between you and me, she deserves a medal. I can't believe she has put up with me for all of these years.

This last year has been quite a year for us. It actually started the day before our last anniversary when (K) got married. She is now pregnant with our first grandson and is due in August. Our other daughter (A) is getting married in September. She is marrying a man who has two children. Most importantly, during this last year we made the decision to adopt (S).

So we ended last year with 3 children.

We will end this next year with 4 children, 2 sons-in-law, and a 3 grandchildren. How cool is that?!?!?!?

Which is the best addition? That is hard to say. It has to be between the pending adoption of (S) and the addition of grandchildren to our family. Not that the addition of sons-in-law isn't nice, just not as nice as looking forward to our first grandchildren or adoption day ( a day we keep hoping will come, but seems like it may never happen.)

DW always reads what I write here, so a message for you sweetheart: Happy Anniversary!
