Marriage



Today, Nate and I celebrate our 32nd wedding anniversary. I feel reflective.








In 32 years of marriage we:


had 6 kids and fostered one for 5 years


lived in 3 states



bought 3 homes, including one in the Hamptons, and one we bought outright



had innumerable cats, a dog, two bunnies, a snake and a few tankfuls of fish



traveled to Canada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, Niagara, Amish Country, the Poconos, and a Renaissance Faire.




owned a van furnished for travel, numerous cars, 3 mini-vans, trucks, and a extended cab truck







we've raised chickens for eggs





Nate and Matt found a haunted house on property we owned.






Nate has had many operations



Nate has been licensed and certified for driving commercial trucks and tractor trailers as well as running a wastewater treatment plant and potable water





I have had a column in a newspaper, sold photo's I took, my artwork and jewelry I made.










We've had children grow to adult, and move out of our home



We've endured through serious illness and it's after effects



We grew a huge pumpkin for Halloween this year



I can only wonder what the next years will hold!
