Reflection of our milestone

Over the past five days, we celebrated a milestone wedding anniversary: thirty-five years since we said, “I do.”

On the anniversary day, we worked then shared a quiet dinner at home. Over the weekend, we shared a ‘staycation’ at the lovely Crescent Hotel, one mile from our home. We were there less than twenty-four hours, but it felt like a relaxing full-weekend vacation.

Reminiscing on the past thirty-five years: he chose me, I chose him; we moved many times; we won and lost; we adventured and explored; we even sat together in silence. We created and accomplished.

Now we begin another year towards the golden anniversary (50!) These are my secrets for success:

  • Always cheers to more years!
  • Just say, “Hello.”
  • Have FUN every day.
  • Do an NDB daily!
  • Say “YES” to adventures.
  • Kiss good-morning and good-night.

Aloha🌺,

Denise
