Today I am raising a toast to my butter half on the occasion of our 32nd Wedding Anniversary!

| He makes my heart turn to jelly. |
Joe truly is the best thing since sliced bread - our love never gets stale and as you can see in our wedding picture below, he likes my buns (still). 😘

32 years of laughter
a fair bit of sorrow
we've lived in CA, WI, CH
and the land of Saguaro
it took a while
for our girls to arrive
parenting partners
together we survive
your kindness is a plus
your farts are a minus
as a best friend
you are the finest
everyday I recommit
my love for you
32 years later
I'd still say "I do"

Wow, love spirals on, Bridget! Happiest of Anniversary wishes to you and that crusty slice!
Beautiful couple!
Congratulations on your wedding anniversary.
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Wow - 32 years since chocolate strawberries - Tim has never been the same!! Happy a.
Happy anniversary to both of you. I love the poetic tribute. We are looking forward to seeing you soon.
Bridget, what sweet photos, puns and a lovely anniversary poem. Fun! I had to look up to find that CH is the abbreviation for Switzerland. :)
Love these lines:
"parenting partners
together we survive"
Thanks, Linda! Yes, my Joe is a 'crusty slice' - good one! :)
Thanks, Jeanette! We're really looking forward to seeing you (and Mark!) too. :)
Thanks, Dave! Tim-o was so cute at our wedding. The strawberries he stole were plain - he didn't need any chocolate to entice him into his fruit stealing life of crime. :)
Thanks, Loretta! We're looking forward to our CA visit. :)
Thanks, Denise! Yeah, had to use the CH abbreviation as Switzerland has too many syllables. :)
Hooray for 32 years of love and laughter. Congrats and best wishes for at least 32 more. I understand that waiting for parenthood thing. Now that I HAVE parented a couple of decades....I see that there was some benefits in the wait. Similar to the benefits fo knowing a spouse for 32 years. Happy Anniversary. May it be filled with more kindness and less farts.
Congratulations to one of my favorite couples! My the years to come bring you infinitely more love, joy and laughter - and far fewer farts :-P!
Happy Anniversary!!! Love the punny poem and the cool wedding photo (and that toast is perfection). Wishing you many more happy years together. Anyway you slice it, you two kids are on a roll!
Love! Our 32nd is this summer too.
Happy Anniversary--fun puns and poem celebrate! (You share an anniversary with my folks, only they were hitched 38 years before you--it would have been 70 years this year. Don't start estimating--I am the youngest in my family!)
Here's to the yeast, the dough, the rising...the whole loaf, crust and crumbs included! A hearty whole grain happy anniversary to you!
Happy anniversary. What a swet poem to honors the 32 years. Enjoy the day,
Sorry - you're right - old coot confusion on my part!!
"As a best friend, you are the finest" -- doesn't get better than that! Happy Anniversary!
Awwwww--clearly your connection runs the gamut and I wish you slice after slice of life together!
Thanks, Linda! Yes, waiting for our girls had many benefits...unlike the farts in my marriage. But alas, you take the good with the smelly. ;)
Thanks, Elisabeth! I look forward much more Joe minus his farts... :)
Aw, thanks, Jama! Your puns are fun and a-dough-able, just like you! :)
Yay! Great minds married in 1989! Happy soon-to-be anniversary, Ruth!
Thanks, Buffy! Your folks had good taste in a wedding date! I know what it is to be the youngest of a lot of kids and the ages of the parents/kids seems like a stretch. :)
Oh, Mary Lee! Your bread metaphor rises to the occasion - thank you! :)
Thanks, Jone! Our day was lovely.:)
Indeed, Tabatha! In my world, there's nothing better than my Joe. :)
Thanks, Heidi! It's fun to 'loaf' around with my guy. :)
And your love continues to rise… Congrats on your Anniversary and your punny poem!
Happy Anniversary, Bridget! So much fun to celebrate with a poem.
Thanks, Michelle! Well done on your extended metaphor - to say the 'yeast'! :)
Thanks, Laura! A poem is a gift that keeps on giving...just like a good marriage. :)
