We just had our anniversary on the 24th, which Cowboy forgot, by the way...
I do forgive him though, as in our chosen way of life, we rarely know what day it is anyhow! They all meld into one another, days into weeks, months into years.
I can not begin to tell you about the miles we've traveled,
Open that gate & bring on the muscles, bales of straw & plywood!
My cousin.....played the guitar!
It's was a long day, filled with friends, family, laughter, & wonderful memories! A good time was had by all! We got baby calves as wedding gifts which ran around all day with the 9 puppies ... catching hugs & loves by everyone! (wished my picture taking Brother would have got some of those!)Some of our guests were camped out in the fields overnight, to share in a hearty breakfast!
My two Aunts, talking with me, who gave me so much love & support over the years when there was no one else. Cancer took them both in recent years....I so miss them!
Then there is my Great Uncle! (the really tall one! NO, I did not get that gene when the pool was stirred up, turns out that I am the shortest on that side of the family! Actually...I ended up the shortest on both sides~ hmmmm!)...I cannot thank Uncle Harold enough! He taught me to search out & live my dreams; pay no mind to the road blocks that may appear, just work around & through them; have fun, laugh, love & enjoy life! His greatest teaching was "Don't EVER stop learning!" He never did!
I love this man with all my heart & he showed his love & support in my life like no other!
I know, he knew I was there holding his hand at the end....he gave me that warm gentle squeeze, as he had done for so many years!
I still hold on to those squeezes in my heart!

What a sweet wedding and story. I know what you mean about the years going by . It is like all of a sudden I woke up and said where in the world did all those years go ?Sometimes it makes me so sad . Life really is just a vapor .

Oh my word, love those pictures!!!
Did I miss where you told us how many years ago this was??
Can't believe you forgive him for forgetting.
Our anniversary is 7/11, didn't think Josh would be able to forget that. I should have had Slurpees at our reception...man, 10 years later and I'm finally thinking that up!
How lovely!!! Happy Anniversary to you and cowboy! Christina

You MADE the shirts and dresses? WOW! What a fun journey to see the pictures of your special day. Happy Anniversary to both of you!
Oh Barb - that was such a warm and cosy trip down memory lane! Between your descriptions and the photos, I can just imagine the music and the heat!
I hope that in the years to come, Adam and I have the same easy, comfortable marriage that you and Cowboy have come to enjoy. Happy anniversary!
I want you to know that even virtual weddings have me in tears!
I sat here crying and smiling. I love this post!
Blessings!
