33 YEARS!!!

33 years ago you called me
and asked me out on a date.
(Well actually our first date was on the 10th.)
You had a little gray hair then.

(You have a bit more gray hair now.)

Best phone call I ever received!

I'm not sure where the years went.
But I'm thankful they went with you!

My life is awesome because you are in it!

I love you!

    YOU are wonderful! Thanks for being so nice to my son. He actually knew that you were only a couple blocks away... his fiancee was visiting for the weekend, and I mentioned you and she wanted to know your name, and said that her aunt knew you or something? I am old and senile so I don't remember details. :) Happy 33 years!!! That is sweet.

    Tauna, You and Howard are one of the cutest couples ever!!

    I love your photo collage you posted and the one of Howard holding your little grand daughters hand on walking along the wall is absolutely adorable!!

    SO sad that you are going to be without your hubby until the 26th! I love your passion that you have for your hubby and you and I are SO much alike in this area. I think one of my favorite sayings on your blog is "My favorite place...is in your hug" and I love that you love to be with your hubby more than anyone else. Those are definitely the same thoughts I have about Tracy.

    I still am in AWE at the amazing, wonderful treat you delivered yesterday!! Someday (hopefully this year) we can get together and you can give me some tips on chocolate making. Truly amazing and I think you should open your own chocolate shoppe! The "Haystacks Hearts" were my favorite. I would love to know what gives them the "malt" flavor.

    Anywho, I'm still laughing that the only day EVER that I have taken a shower in the late afternoon I actually have one of my favorite friends stop by!!

    Thanks for being one of the sweetest people I know!! Enjoy your last few hours of HUBBY and YOU time and "Happy Anniversary"!!

    If hubby and I make it 33 years...I'll be 91.
    I wonder if he'll still love me when I take my teeth out, and put on my depends at night.

    Wendy, he'll love you when you take your teeth out, but you might have to share them with him.

    You are a terrific duo! In a world full of so many people who are sad and miserable together, you are a ray of sunshine. Do you think extra snuggling to survive in the 'burg is a contributing factor? Hope your day was sweet!
