36 and Counting

It’s hard to believe that Debbie and I have been married 36 years, as we celebrate that milestone today. I’ve always granted that I married above my station, and that’s reinforced every day as I continue to see her through a filter of love and respect. And my prayer every day is that I will be the kind of husband that she deserves.

I hope that you are equally blessed in finding and loving your soul mate. All else pales in significance.

  1. Lyle, we couldn’t think of anything more romantic than watching a Rockhounds baseball game.
    But, then, we’ve also been married for 36 years!
    (But, in all seriousness, we did have a great time Sunday night; thanks for inviting us.)

  2. Eric,
    Congratulations to you and YLB. Obviously she is an exceptional and tolerant lady, and you would have excelled in sales. Here’s to many more…

  3. Gregg, you have to remember that Fort Stockton was (is) a very small town and pickin’s were slim. But you are certainly right about her.
    Donna, thanks!

  4. I’m not feeling so articulate being sick and all, so the first thought that came to mind is awww! Couples like you are very rare and make me glad that I am waiting until I have what you guys have (rather than settle for the first guy that comes along). Okay, hope that came out right hehe – I’m very muddled today!

  5. Rachel, not only are you quite articulate but you get the award for the sweetest comment of the day! And I think God will bless your desire to wait for just the right person in your life.
    Thanks for the note, and get well soon!

  6. My eyes are deceiving me! I thought you said, “36” years. This cannot be…you were married at age 8??
    Congratulations, especially to the Bride for sticking it out as you matured :<}
