Three Decades

This past week, my wife and I celebrated a significant milestone.  We passed our 30 year wedding anniversary.

We’ve been together for over three decades, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Now we both agree that 26 of those years were great, while 4 of them weren’t so fantastic.  Our first two years were rough, and then we feel the pandemic kinda robbed us of two more years.  But hey, 87% is an A- in our book, and we’ll take it.

Now why wouldn’t I change anything if four of the years kinda sucked?  Well, those years made us who we are. We learned to fight through adversity and to really have each other’s back.  We learned how to communicate, and how to work through disagreements, and how to be there for each other when things were truly grim.

However much those four years strained things, they helped build us into something stronger.  They built us into what we have now, which I dearly love.

There is no other person in this universe that I would rather sit on the deck having coffee with, or share a meal with at a busy Vegas cafe, or complain about the state of the world with as we watch our favorite talking heads.

Thank you Jen, for being my human and for putting up with my shit.  I can’t imagine where life would be without you.  Let’s make the next 30 even more memorable.  Love you always.
