50 Years

On the way to his parent's 50th Annivesary party tonight, Larry said, "Gosh, 50 years is a long time." I hit him, naturally. We've been married only a year and a half ... he can't be getting tired already.

Really, though, he's right. What a remarkable thing for two people to be so happy together after 50 years of life's ups and downs. And Mom and Dad are clearly happy. Mom laughed when I told her the other day that Larry and I had just spent 7 days traveling together, never out of each others' sight, and we're still not sick of each other. "You're just like Daddy and me," she said.

If we're like her and Daddy, then 50 years are going to go by much too quick.
