hi Hannah,
this is "next" week, so ...
... ... H A P P Y
... ... B I R T H D A Y
... ... H a n n a h !! !! !! !! !!
> I'll be 34 next week.i can almost remembr 34 ...
... ... but then i can remember this morning like it was only yesterday ... ... ...> My husband and I got married when I was still 18, almost 19. We just had our 15th anniversary last week. We were actually in the same kindergarten class, but we didn't get to know each other until 7th or 8th grade. We didn't start dating until 11th grade, broke up for our senior year, and then got back together shortly after we began college. Our wedding was a year later. This certainly isn't the smartest path for most people, but it was the right choice for us. I hope that 15 years from now you'll be saying the same thing! :) >
i offer our history for contrasts ... in success, fortunately ...
... ... sylvia and i are wed now 17 years this last august ... ... i was 35 and she 28 ... ...
... when i went ask her parents for her hand in marriage, i told them we had know each other 4 weeks ... ... i lied ... ... we had been involved 2 weeks ... ... they gave us their blessings anyway
... then my dad gave us his blessings over the phone to me and extended the family welcome to sylvia without even seeing or hearing, let alone meeting her ....i would definitely NOT recommend our history as a means to matrimonial success either ... ... our success in despite very bad statistics for very short courtship marriages ... ...
... yet we found each other and it has been very good ... ... we are twice blessedand happy anniversary!
