Our 28th on the 28th

This past Saturday, February 28^th, Charley and I celebrated our 28^th wedding anniversary! The time has gone by so quickly, mostly noticeable by how much the kids and grandkids have grown. Simon and Amy were only four and two when we got married; and Josh, just 18. Now they’re all grown up and leading productive, plentiful lives of their own with their own families and friends. Charley and I are truly blessed.

Both of us had work commitments last Saturday—at least up until noon. Then we took off, driving around old, familiar neighborhoods in Santa Clarita, all the while talking about how we were going to create our lives from this point forward. How we’re going to fulfill as yet unfulfilled goals and dreams, recommitting ourselves to supporting each other’s games and passions!

Kissing our way to New Mexico on a road trip in December to visit our son and his family!

The conversations were lively and hopeful and full of promise, inspired as we were by each other’s enthusiasm.

It reminded me of our first meeting 28 years (and one month) when Charley helped me move a heavy chair into a borrowed truck and we ended up spending the whole day together, talking away at great speed and energy about life, our dreams, passions and purposes.

I am rich in what matters and reminded of it every day since besides being married, Charley and I have also worked together almost all of this time as well. So special. So effortless. So amazing!
