Did I ever think I would be the one after a generation filled with divorces that would actually make the 25th Anniversary? Not for a minute.
Panty 6: "You motherfucker I Hate you!" - 1993 pointing my 45 at my head about to pull the trigger(tequila infused)
Pop: "I am suprised she hasn't shot you by now" - 1995
Brother Dan: "How do you do it? I thought you woulda been long gone by now!" - 2002
a good Friend: "You have come far and been through a lot with one really great woman at your side, cherish it" - 2009
another great friend: "What you two have is beautiful, you have made it what it is with lots of hard work, adn a whole lot of love" - 2010
It has been one long road filled with so many ups and downs I cannot remember them all. We have seen tables filled with raman, hillshire farms sausage, and not much else. We have seen a table filled with not much more than a few burgers and kool aid. We have had tables fille with steaks, potatoes, the best wines and beers that were around.
We have seen three boys grow to become a fine young man, and two A students with one in the new STEM Academy because he was the top of his school's top 4% students. We have been through a Marine Corps deployment, years of National Guard service, a career in the Army with two deployments, and now making a way in two new careers with kids doing nothing but A work.
Life as I look back, has been pretty damn good from where I sit.
Tonight will be a nice Japanese steak house for dinner, a little gluwine when we get home, and overall, a quite evening celebrating our 25 years together, and looking at the prospect of many more to come with nothing but good things ahead.
Without her, I would be nothing but an undisciplined rogue and more than likely dead drunk in the streets. She has most surely been the light in my life.
Who would have thought this would get that far so long ago on December 10th 1985?

Happy 25th Anniversary Panty 6!
 
Re: 25 years, Holy Shit!

We have always measured our success not through what we have, but what we have overcome together to get where we are in life. We are now looking forward to the next four years as I go through my Senior Undergraduate study program to become a Medical Technician, MT, ASCP with a BS Degree. She is awaiting Hemlock Semiconductor(Dupont's HSC, Clarksville) to begin hiring it's Accounting Staff. She currently works as an Accounting and Clerical Assistant in a local Accounting Firm and has her own accounts as of today. Once I have my degree and certifications, we will plan accordingly for the next five to ten years and further.
I am looking forward to see just what life has planned for me, her, and the boys as we travel at WFO laughing all the way.
Thank You all for the good wishes. I am trying to pick which shirt I should wear tonight out of my entire set of two...new black t-shirt and shined up 3 Eye Docs in jeans good enough for a night out?

Congrats switch!!!

Now you can tell her this joke:

One day a woman came downstairs to find her husband in the dark, crying.

She asked him what's wrong?

He said "Today is 25 years baby".

She was astonished that he remembered!!

He said "Do you remember when your dad threatened to put me in jail if I did not marry you?"

She said "Why yes honey..".

He said: "I would have gotten out today.".


Funeral is on Tuesday.
 
Re: 25 years, Holy Shit!

Congratulations James. If we live to April my wife and I will have been married 41 years. She has been the one thing in my life that kept me straight. I never thought I would live this long. Our oldest daughter is 39 and the youngest 35. Where has time gone?

Go out and enjoy the evening. Don't get into trouble. But enjoy.

Again, congratulations to you both.
