TWENTY FIVE YEARS

 Together...

25 years ago this week, we went on our first date and here we are, a quarter century later!  Where does the time go?  It's a big milestone of course, but we've both agreed to no gifts right now.  I mean, we are building a house, so there IS that, ha.

We'll have a simple dinner tonight (pork chops and corn on the cob with salad is on the menu) but soon, we will splurge and go to our anniversary place for fried chicken.  We haven't had fried chicken of any kind since before my heart attack so we figured a splurge once a year is OK.  I even asked my doctor on my last visit and, as he said, "don't miss out on what you enjoy, just do it with moderation".  I said "so fried chicken once a year?" and he said "ABSOLUTELY...once every couple of months if you want it, your numbers are very good".  We won't do that, but once a year seems fair.

For those new to the blog or missed it a couple years go, you can read THE STORY OF US HERE

A phrase we always like to say is "It's just the two of us and that's all that matters".  Family is not always there and neither of us have our parents so in the end, that's really all that matters (and sweet Hobart of course, for as long as we have him!).  

"New House Teaser" will be on Friday...

    You many not have no immediate family; but I would consider All of your commenters as distant family.

  8. So nice to hear of happy long lasting love in a world today when so many people split up...perhaps not giving their relationship a real chance. I have only been together with my husband for 55 years so try to catch up !

  11. I am so happy that you two have enjoyed so many years of happiness together in a society that, while it has improved, still makes unions between gay men difficult and challenging. It is easy for us straights. Roderick
