Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Anniversary smiles

23 Comments

Yesterday was our wedding anniversary.

Lots of years ago, when we were much younger.

We got married in the town I grew up in, in the church we attended every Sunday when I was a kid, even though I hadn’t lived there for more then 15 years myself.

Who could have guessed all that was ahead of us when we took those vows and cut that cake. I’m sure glad I didn’t have to get through it all alone.

It wasn’t a very big wedding, but it must have been legit because we’re still married — thirty years later.

And that makes us smile.

My sister and me.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  2. Aw, this is so sweet … and it makes me smile, too. Somehow it’s reassuring when couples can grow together rather than pull apart, especially in these crazy times. Congrats on your anniversary, Dawn and Hubby!

  12. Big weddings are overrated. You end up spending years paying them off instead of doing what you’re an expert at: creating memories by having adventures!
    You go, Girl!!!
