33 and Still Going Strong

Thirty-three years ago today Russ defied his mother’s advice and married me. Thankfully he says it was the right decision. Thankfully I did not know she told him he could change his mind. She had terrible cancer at the time so I don’t hold it against her. I am sorry she did not live long enough to see what a good match we are to each other.

I count my lucky stars that he kept after me even when I did not pay any attention to him. How did I miss that six foot five guy who kept hanging around me at trade shows? Once I did talk to him I quickly discerned he was the smartest person at our company and funny too. Turns out he is smarter and kinder than almost anyone else I know. What a perfect combination.

It’s been the most wonderful 33 years, which seems like three, except for that 26 year old daughter we have. I am looking forward to the next 33 years. If the trajectory continues they will be pretty great.
