41 YEARS!

I started my day today by finding a little video my hubby posted for me on Facebook, as it is our 41st wedding anniversary. (And doubled as an early valentines greeting too!)  It was hysterical, and I broke out laughing and smiling and watching it over and over again.  It set the tone for my whole day.  It was just one of those silly jib jab videos, but for whatever reason I have always loved this particular song and hubby and I have sang and danced our way through it many times over the years for fun.  Well trust me it has been awhile since we have, but of course it is one of the reasons it was soo hysterical.  I FINALLY figured out how to share it here, so let me show you....



Wouldn't that be wonderful if that was actually my figure, my voice, and my dancing ability?  lol  I'd like to pretend he stills sees me that way though!  It has made me think I can tell you that.  Whoever in a million years would have ever guessed WHAT in the world we'd be doing 41 years later. I spent most of the day sewing burp cloths for my coming GREAT grand daughter, that's one of the things I did, while hubby is off to work as usual. I am hobbling somewhat today as well as my arthritis is acting up some [maybe the rain and cold weather we've had the last couple of days?] and we're actually living in a senior citizens park. My figure is NOT what it used to be, my hair is NOT the same color, I am minus several different body parts, and that's just the physical changes. Hubby has fared a little better.  His weight is not much different then the day we married, and while he hasn't had but one surgery to repair a knee, he has had numerous skin issues and his hair is thinned WAY out and turned gray. We're the parents to 4 children, 4 in law children, 12 grandchildren, and have one great child on the way.  We've weathered many a storm together through the years, and danced our way through the good times.  One thing I KNOW for sure is that the Lord brought us together all those years ago, and through His grace has lead us faithfully through this life.  How grateful I am for this man.  My life has been SOO blessed because of him, and I hope that there is never a doubt in his mind to that.
