Anniversary! August 18, 2007
Posted by Diane Bird in : All Posts , trackbackMike and I both forgot that today is our wedding anniversary; we always forget; so I called him on my cell phone (he’s working the clubhouse at the golf course today) and we had a good laugh, as did all the golfers who shared his delight. 45 years today. Long time. Here’s why we always forget: On the day of our wedding, Mike had just flown in from Damage Control School on Treasure Island (Navy) and I had just flown in from St. Mary’s College in South Bend, IN, where I had just finished taking my “comps” (comprehensive exams) in my major as well as my “GRE’s” (graduate record exams). We drove out the next day to Alameda (Navy housing) and within three weeks we were on a plane to Japan where we were stationed for three years. The wedding itself just got stuck in there someplace. Thank heavens my lovely mother did all the planning and arranging and worrying, and left us with a beautiful day to remember (or forget)

I remembered, Mom! Had a feeling it might be an afterthought . . . maybe we should start planning the big five-oh!
Well, belated happy anniversary. 45 years! That is quite an accomplishment. Congrats!
Congrats on 45 years! I can’t believe you spaced off your anniversary! Good thing you both did, or you would be mad at the other one for forgetting!! I’ve seen a picture of you, Diane in your wedding dress. A beautiful bride you were and still are. If we have the next family reunion in 5 years we can also celebrate your 50th! On another thought, however, I wonder if 5 years is too long a time to wait for the Magnuson reunion. Something to consider.
Yes, indeed — congrats on your 45th wedding anniversary! Sorry I missed this until now. And I wonder why I have never seen your wedding picture? guess you’ll have to post it!
