I am delighted to say, today is my 29th wedding anniversary! I came home to beautiful roses and funny candy on Friday after school. Funny candy? "Riesens" - Tony called them "the many Riesens for loving me" - yes, funny candy! Truly, we have celebrated our anniversary all weekend long.
My gift to him? I decided to write - of course! He was the inspiration, with his silly Riesens. I wrote down 29 reasons I loved him - plus 1 more to grow on. I wrote each reason on a tiny sliver of paper, like a fortune; I scrolled each one up and filled a very small box, and presented him with these treasures. It was a lovely reflection process for me - thinking about all that has happened over the many years of our marriage, and why I hope for many more years. May it be so.
Happy day, happy us, feeling very blessed.

ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! Happy anniversary! 29 years is amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Sweet slice indeed.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - the flowers are beautiful and the writing of 29 reasons (plus one) is a gift beyond compare. We all need to express such things more often. Such joy in this slice.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and your "Riesen" for celebrating! I love your gesture of love. It makes me think about Amy Kraus Rosenthal. Now, what will you do for next year? It's time to start planning because topping this year's celebration will be a challenge! Enjoy your day and your love.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your shared humor is one of the things that makes it worth celebrating! Congratulations.
