our 20th!

He asked, I said "yes" The Navy chaplain who counseled us said we had nothing in common and would not last a year.
Well, here we are 20 years later. It has not been an easy road- lots of stupidity, trials, and tribulations.
But through all those dark times, the one word never uttered from either of us was "Divorce".
Somehow, through the grace of God we kept it together.And now  2 wonderful boys and 20 years later we are still together.
Being with Senior makes me a better person. He is my best friend, my love, and my soul mate. He is a awesome husband and loving and caring father.
Thank You for the past 20 years, I pray God blesses us with another 20.

    A couple really does have to work very hard to keep a marriage going. When one of them is often away from home on a deployment, it's even harder. I hope you two have many more years together, and that they are happy ones all.

      It was a bit rough at times. Senior and I are both thankful that we were not blessed with kids until his last year of sea duty. Then he went over to shore duty, and was able to be there with our babies.
      I believe it was 2001-2002 Senior had a CO that was a geo bachelor. That man would volunteer their ship for everything. That year he was only home a total of 1 week....

      Thanks for your sweet wishes Harry

    Well cut the chaplain a little slack there though. I mean according to your announced timeline of your life you were only 9 when ya got married. He couldn't see how you would change and all. :)

    Happy 20th Anniversary. Marriage is a lot of work on both parts. You got to live through it all, together, to really appreciate each other. Congratulations to both of you!
