33 years . . .

Today Ken & I celebrate 33 years of married life. Who woulda thunk?? 33 years ago when we took our vows, Ken was 20 & I was just 19. What in the world did we know about being married?? How could we possibly have thought we knew what it took to be married & more importantly; to stay married??? We didn't. But we have worked to make our marriage last. Because a marriage is work. Lots of work. I think 3 things that have made our marriage work are friendship, laughter, & compromise. First & foremost, we are best friends & have been since the day we met. This may sound strange, but I can imagine us not being married, but I cannot imagine us not being friends! I love & adore my best friend, who just happens to also be my husband. My husband of 33 years. Today we will celebrate this milestone in our lives. We will celebrate the love we have for each other, the love we have for our family & the love we have for our God who has made all this possible. Happy Anniversary Ken - here's to 33 more! All my love, babe!

Love & Peace ~Terri

Tagged - 7 Random Things/Habits

I've been tagged by Elizabeth! How fun especially since I have never been tagged before! Thanks Elizabeth - you made my day! I'm so easy to please! ;-)

So, here are 7 random things/habits about me:

#1. I HATE, HATE, HATE - did I say HATE?? wearing a bra. 99.9% of the time I am bra-less. Due to gravity & the old age I am smack dab in the middle of, this does not make for a pretty sight. I do wear a bra when I go out into public, though.

#2. I also HATE wearing shoes, but have about 100 pairs. I am a shoe-a-holic as a purchaser, but very rarely wear them - other than my flops which I wear all the time. Even my grandson tells me I need to stop buying shoes that I never wear. LOL! I do try to wear a different pair to church week though. ;-)

#3. After 37 years & at least a pack a day, I quit smoking 7 months ago! I'm pretty darn proud of myself, but I do beat myself up for not doing it so much sooner! I feel so much better & am now walking 3+ miles each day - something I NEVER could have done 7 months ago!

#4. I think I mentioned this someplace before, but I have an addiction to chap stick. I have to wear chap stick pretty much 24/7 because my lips are constantly chapped.

#5. I have a serious addiction to Pepperidge Farm Goldfish. I buy at least one 2 pound box each week. Might help explain the 15+ pounds I've packed on in the past few months.

#6. When I go to sleep at night I have to start out on my right side, rotate to the left side, then do that all over again 2 times before I can finally fall asleep. I have no idea why.

#7. After my hysterectomy quite a few years ago, I could no longer wear jewelry except for watches & my wedding rings. No necklaces, no earrings - nothing. The Dr. said it's a very rare side effect, but he has heard of it before. If I do try & wear something, I break out in a rash. Weird, huh???

Thanks for reading & again thanks Elizabeth!!! This was fun!!!
