Happy Anniversary Honey

This 'n' That

2 Nov

Wedding pic

 

28 years ago Jeff and I got married and time has just flown by.  I know I have told the story before of how we met but just in case you are a new reader, here is a quick story, plus I love telling it.

Jeff was on his way to Alaska and had all his money stolen so he got a job as a carnie at the Edmonton Klondike Days, and I just happened to be working there in the Ontario Pork food booth. He had been in the Army in Germany and when he came up to my booth he ordered the Scnitzel. He worked at the haunted house so he had bloody makeup all over his face, but when we met we knew it was meant to be.

 

Jeff never did make it to Alaska until Stampin' Up! had their incentive trip there and I worked really hard that year to earn it and we did, it was the first trip we earned and it was the year of our 20th Anniversary.

 

4 years after we were married we had Eric, and he was a definite handful with his learning disabilities but we all survived it and we have raised a sweet young man.

 

We have been blessed to have found each other and I thank God every day that He made him for me, he has the patience of a saint and puts up with me and my crazy ideas, like when I quit my job to do Stampin' Up! full time (look how great that turned out though eh?), when I thought we needed chickens, and maybe more chickens, and maybe a bigger coop…he just takes it all in stride.  

He has his handsful with Eric and I cause we are so much alike. I always say he is earning his wings.

 

Anyway that is a quick little story, and I hope I am still keeping him on his toes for another 28 years.

 

I love you honey.

 

Have an awesome Friday and thanks for stopping in.

 

Hugs,

Di

    Happy Anniversary! Even though I've read the story of how you met…I didn't connect the cruise on your 20th to Alaska. Remember, it works both ways…I'm sure you put up with some stuff. 🙂

    I love telling the story of how my husband and I met, too.

    My hubby and I have been married for 28 years as well…our dresses are quite similar. What else is similar is I too worked for Ontario pork at fairs, the Ex and the Royal early in the 80's…handing out recipes and cooking pigs in blankets to hand out to advertise Pork….also did it at London Fair….what a small world…happy anniversary!

    Di, it's always great to hear love stories. You should tell it every year for your fans so they too realize love is here to stay. John and I will be married 33 years in February and have been blessed with 3 wonderful boys and 5 beautiful grandchildren. I thank God everyday for bringing John into my life. He was my friend through high school and afterwards became so much more. (the love of my life) Have a very Happy Anniversary with many more too come! I love reading your blog everyday.

    Too funny, I made a dress identical to yours for my twin sisters wedding in1982 or1983 and then I made a blouse out of the same pattern! I still have that blouse tucked away in a truck! I still have the pattern too!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
