My husband and I have been married for 19 years, together for 22. Marriage is not always easy. We’ve weathered hard times. Well worth it. He has my back. Life is hard. Living with a mental illness makes it even more challenging. Helps to have someone there for emotional and physical support, someone to make sure we eat dinner, someone who can fix just about anything. He’s an engineer. Quite handy around the house.
Happy Anniversary

He sounds beautiful. Congratulations on the anniversary!
I once dated a guy for 8 years, and in the end, he just gave up. He said he wanted to be with someone who wasn’t so troubled; someone he didn’t have to look after. Your post gives me hope 🙂
I’m blessed. There is hope.
Happy Anniversary!!!
Thanks!
Happy Anniversary Kitt!
Aha I guessed that should be some lake something. I hope it’s in VT or NC where I’ll be visiting this summer.
Lake Tahoe is in the Sierras. Half in California, half in Nevada.
VT & NC are beautiful, too. Enjoy your stay.
Happy Happy anniversary dear Kitt. I saw that picture for my first time last year and was moved by its radiance. Look at how beautiful it’s stayed all these years, you both sticking through and through. Lots of courage and loafs of all things nice and beautiful. My regards to your son too
Thank you, Marie. Great memory! It is the same photo I posted last year. Maybe next year I’ll post another photo.
Congrats, Kitt! This year is our 20th anniversary & your husband sounds so much like mine: supportive and a fixer of things. My memoir Nothing Like Normal, about growing up with a schizophrenic sister, just came out last year. I don’t blog much but I have a WordPress site & I wonder if you wouldn’t mind if I used some of your graphics like the suicide hotline logo. I also like your table of contents on the right margin so I’m going to try & figure out how to do that. My website is http://www.nothinglikenormal.com if you’d like to take a look. It’s in need of a makeover. Well, thanks and keep posting!
Congrats on 20 years married! The Suicide Crisis Line logo is theirs, so you can use it. My image table of contents I made, making each image and using a text widget to reference the images and their hyperlinks. I’ll check out your site. Thanks!
Thanks!
A beautiful couple, in a gorgeous setting. Happy Anniversary, Kitt. 💕
Thank you! Lake Tahoe is gorgeous!
Happy anniversary Kitt!!! Beautiful wedding dress!
Believe it or not, my mother and I made it. The fabric had to be lined, and I had to sew French seams and a hand-rolled hem. Lots of work. Basically four dresses, with the French seams.
THAT’S INCREDIBLE!!! Too bad I’m already married or I’d ask you to make me one 😉
LOL! Nope. Not for a living. Definitely not worth the time and energy.
Congratulations and happy anniversary. :o)
Thank you!
