Banders #6

[lisacaron 5,075]

This weekend was our anniversary, and I have to share this with everyone here not because I am trying to be "braggy" that's not really my style but because I have never been so happy!! I was married for a long time to someone who just didn't get me and to be married again for the second time to someone who is so amazing, is just something I have to share with you all!!

This is our second wedding anniversary, we have been going through lots this year. Major surgery, kid drama's work drama's we adopted two puppies...lots of stuff. So my gift to the hubs was to escape from Long Island and head upstate to Cooperstown and visit the Baseball hall of fame. I took him to the Hockey hall last year in Canada, this year vacation days are limited since we used them all up on just taking care of business.

I got home on Thursday night, to a bedroom full of Balloons and Roses and he even hung a banner across the wall!! Previously he had taken me shopping and bought me a diamond ring that reminded me of one my mother had and for the techie in me the new iphone 6 with 128G so I can take all the photo's and work all the apps and just plain rule my world from my phone as I tend to do

That was more then enough for me, and to come home to all that was beyond anything I would have expected and there was MORE. The second anniversary is cotton. (who knew?) so he had our names and initial embossed on a piece of cotton and had it matted and framed! He had a glass card engraved with our wedding song on it..and I was totally overwhelmed and touched beyond belief!!

I gave him the tablet I bought him and took him away to a little B&B upstate for the weekend and we had a great time, the weather was awesome crisp and fall. The colors were amazing as the mountain ranges turned into a rainbow of color, most of those photo's are on the camera they were so magnificent!

Our eating could have been better, we pretty much lived on coffee and lunch so I guess it could have been worse too

Here are some photo's of the weekend, I hope you all had a great one as well!!

Lucky. You get another chance to believe in partnership❤️. I'm trying to absorb all the caring you got and deserve. Congrats!!

It is a bit hard only 5 months widowed, but I keep wanting to believe that things happen that make you happy down the road.

@@Julie norton I never thought after 20 years of marriage I would ever get married again. We divorced after all that time and that is definitely different then being widowed.

You must be going through so many emotions, I know those who divorce have loads of those as well, life can truly be a double edge sword to be handled with care that is for sure. I could share so many stories with you...someday if I don't lose my memory I will write them all down, but through it all the good the bad the ugly the painful the tragic and the senseless I have learned this to be true.

Love is an amazing, awe inspiring thing right here on earth. Finding it, sharing it and cherishing it, no matter it's form is truly a miracle.

Sending you some love {{xoxoxoxoxo}}

Hi Julie. I was widowed 20 years ago. It takes time, but I promise you that you will be happy again one day. I don't necessarily mean with another relationship. That's a maybe or maybe not. But so soon after your loss, I know how hard it is right now to think that you'll be able to enjoy yourself and laugh again but you will....

Hello everyone. This group is amazing. I really enjoy reading all the ups and downs and goods and bads.

Happy 2nd anniversary. You and your husband are so romantic!! Very lucky. Next month is 44 years for me and I have the most unromantic husband ever. He is the kind that says, I was going to. For my birthday last week, I bought me a dozen roses.

Everyone enjoy Columbus Day.

Did you ever have one of those days when your feeling "fat". I feel like I'm bloated today...retaining Water or what ever it is. I am going to "up" my Water intake since it's been pretty low I have been drinking too much coffee the last few days and I have the feeling I"m a bit dehydrated.

I just think it's odd how your body will retain water..and you feel bloated even my fingers are feeling fat today (which means my rings actually "fit" today instead of spinning around) and all this happens because you don't have enough water in your body. So strange...I mean I get the headache part of it..but not the bloated part of it. On top of that the weather today is going to be near 80 and I just have to say WTF?

My body goes crazy when the weather swings from one extreme to the other. How about you all? Does that affect any of you?

@@lisacaron i so know what you mean.. especially on those days after where i have indulged in salt. my body goes crazy and bloats - even going to the gym can mess with how i feel. I never seem to be able to drink enough water.. i've developed a horrible coffee addiction lately as the warm drink helps wake up my band.. need to start focus on Water and other types of drinks.

I was feeling so good recently and yesterday my arthritis began another flare. I hate this autoimmune s@&t. Top that off with a bad night's sleep and a stiff and painful neck today and I'm not the most pleasant person right now. food is clean. I have to get rid of the feeling of unfairness I have when my food is clean and therefore I expect all my health problems to go away permanently.
