37

Thirty-seven years ago today Mr. Man and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.  What a ride it has been. We have had our ups and our downs.  But thankfully more ups. We have laughed together and we have cried together; we have grown together as one.  Thirty-seven years ago our love for each other was just a sprout today it has grown into a garden.

This anniversary of ours, this 37 years of marriage, is made even more amazing to me because a few years back I wondered if the number of years we had been married would ever equal the number of years collectively our children had been married.  I don't know why I think of these things, but I do. Well this is the magic year; this is the one and a million mathematical equation; never to happen again. So........courtesy of my countess ways here it is:

D1 and husband will celebrate 14 years of marriage this year;

S1 and wife celebrated 10 years of marriage this year;

D2 and husband celebrated 8 years of marriage this year; and

S2 and wife will celebrate 5 years of marriage this year.

Now add up all their years of marriage and you get 37 years of marriage. So collectively they have been married as long as we have.........how crazy is that!

Today one word comes to mind:

BLESSED!
