Happy 30th Anniversary



Happy Anniversary Rog!!
It's hard to believe we've been married 30 years. The time has flown. We've shared many, many experiences together.
Just a little about ourselves. I met Roger when I was 15 years old. I had seen him in the hall and thought he was really cute. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. One day in school a girl came up to me and asked me what my name was and I asked her why she wanted to know. She just told me that I'd find out. Well in December, it happened to be the day we buried my grandma, he called me on the phone and we talked and he asked me out. I was so afraid to ask my parents because I was only 15. But they said I could go. Rog and I went on our first date to a movie. I guess I was smitten with him. We continued dating but my parents were determined I was going to date others too. Which is a good thing of course at that age. But Roger and I seemed to enjoy being together. He eventually graduated and I continued on in high school. I dated other guys but was still attracted to Rog.
By the time I graduated from high school we knew we were in love and we were determined to be married. I was only 18 but thought I knew it all. We could conquer the world together.
Through the course of our married life we've been blessed with three beautiful children. Jared, Shana and Troy. We've had lots of fun family trips. Camping, fishing experiences galore. Roger has been a wonderful husband and father. He's had to put up with me so he should get a reward for that. Through our married life we have shared the death of both of our parents. What a wonderful support we have been to each other for that. We've had our ups and downs in our married life just as a lot of marriages do. But we have succeeded and come out on top. The odds were against us getting married at such a young age but we've stuck with it and here we are now 30 years later.

I want Roger to know that I am by his side through thick and thin. For better or worse .In sickness and in health. He's a great husband and we are looking forward to retirement and getting out and seeing the world.

Here's to another 30 years honey!!! Happy Anniversary

Love,

ME
