four score and seven years ago - -

oops, not. that's eighty seven years .... what i meant was,

Seventeen years ago - -



on this very same day.. well, i think it was a saturday, but it was for sure this date. July 1ST, 1992 . i got myself hitched. yep, to my soulman.
did i have doubts? nah. i think i knew very soon after we met that he was "the one". i think he knew that too.
but did i "see" us this far down the road? i don't think so. we talked of growing old together, and we made future plans, spoke of when soulkid would go to college. but actually feeling or seeing it, i think i was a more "in the moment" type of person. maybe i still am. or not. but either way, here we are. still married. and not one night away from each other in anger.
we have been through a lot together. we have suffered, we have laughed, we have cried, we have loved, we have lost, and we have gained. whatever it was we had to face over these years though, we have done it together.

Happy 17th anniversary soulman!

Happy anniversary. Would you believe that on July 1st, 2000 Harry and I were married? In all the hustle here we almost forgot our anniversary. Hope you two thought ahead and did something special

Congrats! But, you know, to me it seems like you got married before then. Feels like he's been with you forever! Bo and I got married March 1994. I thought you got married YEARS before then! I remember when Mother was in the nursing home, soulkid was babykid, yall went to see her. Time does fly! aj

Congratulations to both of you. Together! That's the key. You can do anything if you stick together and pull together. Both of you are very lucky to have each other. Big hugs and a toast, "Here's to another 17 and then another 17 after that, and on and on." Hope you're feeling better today. I am sending you email, probably tonight after work....about your dr. experience. (some of them are just plain heartless).

thanks everybody!

and a happy anniversary to MARY AND HARRY!!!

AJ-- i will never forget -- and you know MY memory-- that day at the nursing home with soulbaby--- the way you snatched her and ran from room to room to show her off to all RO-RO's friends. hilarious. she was like a drug to you that day. soulman and i still tell that story some times.
that was a good visit out there-- i'm happy everyone got to see her.
seems like so much time has passed now since anyone has seen her -- she's sure not a baby anymore.
but she'll always be my baby.
oh-- yup-- i know your anniversary-- wasn't sure of the year tho--- you know that's soulkids birthday month/year.

hiya CHarlotte-- yep-- we aint goin nowhere. thanks for the toast- where's the butter? :))
ok-- bad joke. sorry.
clink!
i'll watch for your email.
and yes we are lucky to have each other--- i don't think anyone else would take either of us!!! :))

yo SMOCHA-- what's with the switching from oldy to smocha thing? i'm confused enough, dontchya think? :))
anyhow-- my damn scanner isn't working or i would have put a pic up-- now i think maybe i will just put up that video i made a couple years ago.
the good example thing? ya know what-- that's one of the things that was on my my pro of pro and con list of soulman in the beginning-- that his folks were still married. it is a good example for the kids-- somehow , it shows them that marriage isn't disposable. soulkid already talks of 1 marriage, 1 time. that's important. so yup-- at least if nothing else-- i got that part right.
and yup-- you better find your marriage license cuz your anniversary is like the 7th, maybe?

Donna-- thanks--- you aren't late--
thanks.

HUGS Y'ALL !!!!
