Life is busy over here, and I bet it is for you too. Summer has flown by and school starts for my granddaughters this week.
Here's a few snapshots of what went on last week:
Excuse the glare on the side of this photo. I was taking a picture out the window at work. These twin fawns have been around a lot. They don't seem terribly afraid, just watch us as we look out the windows at them. They are so cute and fun to watch.
Saturday, we drove 1 1/2 hour north to go to a reunion of my Mom's family. She was the youngest of 9; 2 sisters, 6 brothers. One sister died at 16, the others all married and had kids. All the siblings have passed away and here are a bunch of the kids - who are now getting old! It was a beautiful day for a drive and nice to catch up with cousins.
This is one of the realtor shots of my Dad's house. It sold this week. Now we just have to go through inspections, appraisal and loan process for the buyer.
Last but not least, this happened 42 years ago, on the 21st.
42 years! Those years have flown by. I'm so thankful for God bringing us together and for the gift of a wonderful husband.
What a gorgeous wedding photo. Happy anniversary! What are your plans? Those fawns are adorable.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! Prayers for many more!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to get to go to that reunion! I miss going to ours but most years it is too hot and too far. I will surely regret not going, though.
Grace & Peace,
Pam
Love the wedding photos.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a beautiful couple!
Happy Anniversary, Mari!
Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary. I love your wedding picture! Wow, your dad's house sold quickly! Love the picture of the fawns. I hope you have a good week! See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a superb couple you and Bob! Wishing you many more years together!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful throwback photos! You look dazzling!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and your husband. My husband and I celebrated 42 years in June.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wow! Wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteI am in tears. You certainly do have a wonderful husband, and he has a precious wife. A trophy wife! That's what you are. Or: trophy bride, treasure wife. Your wedding was stunning and the love shining out of Bob's eyes in that close-up says it all. Summer is waning and we too have seen some deer -- two -- and very nearly collided with them! Ugh it was DARK and on a busy four-lane road not two miles from our house! I like to have died right there in the passenger seat. How special that you were able to take a nice drive and get together with the cousins. Family reunions are necessary to remind us who we are and where we came from. I'm sad that your childhood home is sold although I know it is a relief to you and your sibs. I pray every happiness for those who live there next! I sort of wish it was me, hahaa xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the fawns.
Kids here have another couple of weeks, they go back Sept 5th.
Happy wedding anniversary ! I am glad the house is already sold!
ReplyDeleteHello dearest Mari! And Happy Anniversary to you adorable lovebirds 💝 It's so fun to see the photos from your big day - so sweet.
ReplyDeleteAlso, happy to hear that your Dad's place sold and that chapter will be settled for you soon.
The reunion looked fun! I so related with a million cousins. Lol My Mom is 1 of 6 and my Dad 1 of 9. My Grandparents from both sides had lots of siblings too. My Grandpa on my Dad's side takes the cake though...he was 1 of 17. Can you imagine? 🙈 There was only 1 set of twins too. So my great Grandma gave birth 16 times. Geesh. Lol
Happy Anniversary to you both!!! What a beautiful wedding!
ReplyDeleteAnd how blessed are you to have all those cousins!
What a nice thing to do a gathering of cousins.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I bet selling your Dads home is bittersweet.

Happy Anniversary! How fun to be able to have a family reunion. We use to have one on my mom side but covid stopped that and no one has decided to start it up again. Janice
ReplyDeleteHappy and Blessed Anniversary!!!! What a beautiful couple, looking ahead to a beautiful life!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, Mari!! I love the wedding pictures you shared!! Wishing you many, many more anniversaries of this special day! Beautiful fawns. I love family reunions and am so jealous because we just don't have them anymore. Keep doing it!! I hope the sale goes through smoothly for your dad's house. Bittersweet. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and your husband! I did the mental math and I would have been 7 when y’all married! 😁 Your wedding pictures are just beautiful! I’m so glad y’all got to go to the family reunion. I think it’s so wonderful that you all still make a point to get together. Family is so important! Praying all goes well with the house sell. I know it’s a bittersweet thing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! How nice to have a reunion with your cousins! I wish we would do that but they are so scattered all across the US!~
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! How nice to get together with your cousins, I had met up with 2 of mine last month and it was such a nice visit with them. I wish we could do it on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteWonderful wedding photos.
ReplyDeleteYou were a very beautiful bride and Bob, a handsome groom.
