Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas
Temps: Hi 77F (25C) / Lo 70F (21C)
Thirty-four years. That’s how long Mui and I have been married. Today we took a step into year 35 — and we did so with the dawning of a beautiful day on the beach at GWRVR.
When we got married in İzmir, Turkey in 1981, 26 November happened to fall on Thanksgiving. Every so many years, the calendar brings us back to this special holiday — perfect for giving thanks for all we have … all we are able to do … times two.
Beginning Year 35 with a beautiful sunrise.
What made today extra special was that we got to celebrate it with friends here at GWRVR. We were asked to bring dessert to the Thanksgiving dinner our friends were hosting at their pad. So, Mui had the idea to surprise everyone with an anniversary cake. Laughter and camaraderie … the crowning touch on our day.
Our dessert contribution to Thanksgiving dinner — surprise!
Happy Anniversary to us … and here’s to many, many more happy returns.
Happy anniversary, dear friends. So glad you have allowed us to share in some of your amazing years of marriage.
ReplyDeleteBTW...my best friends back in Ohio share their anniversary with you two.
Happy Anniversary!!! That is one gorgeous professional looking cake Mui. Bet it tasted delicious too.
ReplyDeleteSherry ... it was a "professional" cake ... without an oven in the coach, we opted to order the cake from a local bakery. It was indeed quite tasty.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Erin and Mui:) Wishing you many, many more wonderful years together:) The cake looks like German Chocolate Cake!? You don't have an oven!? Not even a convection oven?
ReplyDeletePam … should have said a real oven. The microwave/convection oven is really too small for baking a sheet cake. And yes; the cake was German chocolate.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeedy -- happy anniversary! It's good to be either born on or have your anniversary on Thanksgiving Day. I was born on Thanksgiving Day and, like you say, every few years, my birthday falls on turkey day. Here's hoping our next year is super great and terrific! (boo hoo, I didn't get cake)
ReplyDelete'Eh Mates!
ReplyDeleteHappy big 34. Good on ya both ;))
Miss you guys.
Tomorrow is Doubtful. Cross fingers for decent weather.
Happy Anniversary to the two of you...
ReplyDeleteTekrar tebrikler. Bir de düğün fotonuzu koysaydın ya.
ReplyDeleteDüşünmedim değil; ama o resimler depoda -- te o zaman digital resimler yoktu malum :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to the two of you! It's so glad to hear from you again. Hard to keep track of you "world travelers".
ReplyDeleteThat's a long time and you even still like each other! ;-D Happy anniversary to you both.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!! Saw the pictures on FB of the Thanksgiving dinner and the cake looks delicious. Missing GWRVR this winter but enjoying all the sunshine AZ has to offer.
ReplyDeleteYou two are an example of what I believe marriage should be. Best of friends, always loving and respectful of each other, sharing life together in the best way possible with great travels and lots of adventure. Each of you appreciating the other's accomplishments and gifts. Mui you are such a great cook, and Erin, no one I know can live up to your photography and willingness to keep track of the details of life and planning. What a pair! I love having people like you two in my life. Congratulations on the 34th anniversary.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and Happy Anniversary!!
