* ANOTHER YEAR OF WEDDED BLISS *

* This blog post consists of some previous anniversary posts! *

The Ronald and I are celebrating a wedding anniversary today: 32 Years! I don't know how this can be possible since I'm only 35 years old! J

Seriously, where have the years gone?? Sure, we've had our ups and downs over the years, but managed to always work things out, and keep loving each other. A story I wrote about our marriage is in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Love Stories (2007)




Notice the jagged edge on the left bottom? Our big, ol' puppy at that time, Rocky, decided a few of our wedding pictures were quite tasty. That little bit of information is included in a story I wrote for NYMB...On Dogs (2012)




Two more photos from that special day in 1983.




Have I mentioned The Ronald is a foot taller than I am??!! That comes in handy when I need something from the top shelf! ☺
 
"There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage." ~ Martin Luther
 
"I couldn't be me, without you being you, allowing me to be me." - Becky Lewellen Povich (said to The Ronald one evening when discussing my writing)


** P.S. I forgot to mention that the two stories I referred to are also in my memoir. **

    Congratulations Becky! It's wonderful to share life with someone you love. How nice that your anniversary is so close to Valentine's day. I like your quote. Have a wonderful day.

      Hello dear Myrna! You said something very poetic...."It's wonderful to share life with someone you love." Being together for many years doesn't necessarily equal a happy marriage. In fact, I know of a few, and I know how lucky I am to have The Ronald! :)

    Congratulations! In this world, that is an amazing achievement. I'm back to blogging, that is, following some old friends to keep in touch with those who are still blogging as opposed to Facebooking and all the other social media out there that I don't like/don't do, unless to keep in touch with children. You are living both a happy marriage AND living the writing life....and obviously enjoying life. Cheers, Ann

      I'm so happy to see you, Ann! I'm glad you're blogging again. I've missed you, although I haven't been a very good blog friend to ANYBODY these days. I keep saying I'm going to do better...and then other things get in the way. I do NOT like Facebook, either, but I do a little bit of it because I feel like I almost HAVE to. I hope you and your daughter are doing very well! And thank you for your kind comments!

      Thanks, Claudia! Nah, we didn't do anything special really. What else can we think up after all these years?! LOL. Glad you got your Valentine! (Would you believe I STILL haven't mailed all of them?!)

    Happy Anniversary y'all!!! Sure, and I chuckled all over again at the tale of Rocky tasting your picture. Becky, have you ever told us how you and The Ronald ever met? If so, I missed it. (Sorry!)

      Hello dear Myra! Gosh, another lovely face that I haven't seen in a long time! You're all so sweet to stop by. I'm glad the photo reminded you of the Rocky chapter in my memoir! And no, I've never mentioned how The Ronald and I met.....Guess I better 'splain that in the sequel! :)
