After 29 years, I can tell you that making it through the rough times is worth it.
I can't tell you how many of our Anniversary's, there were dissagreements, arguments, and down right burn the dish towel fights! One year, we were going out the door to a very nice restaurant, over an hours drive away. I was all dolled up and looking gorgeous  ,hehe. Went out to turn on the ac in the truck to get it all cooled down, when he comes out and asked me if I picked up his jeans at the cleaner ????    Uhhh, I don't think so......know this, Cowboy doesnt go anywhere without his nicely fresh starched Wrangler jeans...Ahem..., needless to say, he was a very unhappy camper. He said thats it, and I said, fine with me! We stayed at home and he had a sandwich.....I had no appetite after that. Now, I see to it that he has PLENTY OF STARCHED SHIRTS, JEANS AND SLACKS!!!!!!!! MAKE NO MISTAKE.
I look back on it now, I really don't laugh, but, we go on and make the best of every new day. One thing we have learned is to overlook the small stuff, and there is plenty of that. We even let each other vent and roll our eyes as they walk away, feeling as if the other has unloaded a 10 ton boulder from our shoulders. That is a good thing we do for each other.
Our Anniversary is on Sunday the 11th, we will probably be working cows that day and I will be in the kitchen cooking big food to feed the hungry cowboys and girl.
We are planning a nice trip very soon, it makes it a little easier to stand in the hot kitchen. This work has to be done, and sometimes you can't stop and celebrate at the moment. We will kiss, hug, and make sure the other knows exactly how much they are loved before starting the day.
listen to me, ramble on. I just want the younger girls to know that if you really love each other, it may take a little work or a lot of work to get through this one. But if you can, it is soooo worth it when the kids leave home, and you are back to having just each other , I promise !!! Hope it gets better so you can enjoy each other before the day is done!
