It Seems Like Yesterday . . .


Look at this couple . . . so young, so happy, so much hair!


That's Dave and I on July 17, 1982.  On Tuesday we celebrated 30 years.  In 1982 we were broke college kids, plus he proposed in April and we married in July, so there was no time or money for an engagement ring. We purchased matching wedding bands.  We've laughed many times about his less-than-romantic proposal, but I was 20-years-old and too excited to care about romance. 

Thirty years later, he proposed again
 - this time on one knee and with a gorgeous ring. 
 I said yes!

  7. My parents were 19 & 20 when they got hitched - just bands, and many years later, a pretty diamond. My how things have changed, eh? Congrats on your loving life together and try not to crash while driving and watching that beautiful ring sparkle :0)
