My Grama's Soul

Brad and I were married 40 years ago today.  It seems almost impossible that so much time has sped by.  It is a life filled with many, many memories that I never dreamed I would have. Saying those vows all those years ago in our little living room in our house on Holly makes the memories even sweeter. We started out with next to nothing...only our love and commitment to each other and my kids and we have never wavered.   He always sends me one rose for each of our married years.  This year....it is 40....such a large bouquet that the florist had to place it in two vases.  Goodness....the thought just occurred to me if we make it to 60 they will have to put the roses in a small wheelbarrow. HAHA!! I married a wonderful man....I'm VERY FORTUNATE AND GRATEFUL. Have a beautiful day, Jo

Yesterday was my wedding anniversary.  June 1st, 1979 was the day my sweet Brad and I tied the knot...  as they say. We had a very simple wedding as it was a second marriage for the both of us...  In a small home down in central Phoenix....38 years ago.  Only immediate family joined us and we were married by a Justice of the Peace.   Neither one of us had much in the way of stuff or much money for that matter;  but we had my two kids and each other and that is all that seemed to matter. Lots and lots of flowers decorated our home for this event...are you surprised? Daisies were my favorite flower then so we filled the place up. The JP wore a Kelly Green leisure suit...which I WILL NEVER FORGET.  When he rang the door bell and I answered....it did take my breath away...I'll tell you that!   :0) The whole event was catered by Miracle Mile Deli.....one of our favorite inexpensive eating places...and I...

Today is our thirty seventh wedding anniversary.  My how the years have flown by.  It seems like only yesterday we were standing in front of the Justice of the Peace in his KELLY GREEN leisure suit....that's right...it was a hoot!! I should of known  then I was in for one heck of an adventure with my guy.  We have had a wonderful and exciting life together, and it "ain't over yet" as they say. Happy Anniversary Brad... I will love you forever. Jo

He never forgets! I am so very grateful to have my husband, Brad.  He never forgets.....today is our anniversary. 36 Long Stemmed Red Roses One for each year. He is my true soul-mate. Happy Anniversary Honey... xo Jo

Today is our 35th wedding anniversary.  My beautiful husband ALWAYS gets me flowers.....one red rose for each year we have been married. I can honestly say that the years spent with Brad have made me a better and stronger person.  His commitment has never faltered and he has always been there with a helping hand when I needed it the most. Our love has only grown stronger over the years regardless of what life has given us. Thanks honey for a wonderful 35 years and I only hope we can have 35 more. xoxo Jo

Today is our anniversary.......34 years and counting...... We have been through a lot together and hopefully we will have many, many more years together. He sends me red roses EVERY year.  This year I told him not to because they are so very expensive....but his comment to me was "as long as my heart beats along with yours, you will receive red roses on our anniversary." Oh my........be still my heart!! Have a beautiful day, Jo

Today is my 32nd Wedding Anniversary... When I met my soul mate....I had a DREAM that I had finally found someone I could spend the rest of my life with. When I met my soul mate....I had a WISH that we would have a wonderful life together sharing adventures through thick and thin. When I met my soul mate....I had HOPE that our love would grow stronger through the years. My dream, my wish and my hope have all come true with YOU~~Sweet Brad. Happy Anniversary, Jo                                                                        Photo: A Quiet Storm ~ Tumbler
