Clay and I celebrated 20 years of wedded bliss on August 15th. That’s what I wrote on the calendar, “20 Years of Wedded Bliss”.
Clay tossed his phone to our daughter as we headed out the door and told her to take some photos of us. It is EXTREMELY difficult for us to take a serious photo. But, I think most of you already know that.
Twenty years is quite a while to be married to a person. The other day I said to Clay, “Hey, I’m the age my mom was when you met her.” And he sat in silence just staring at me. It was one of those WHOA! moments.

Twenty years is probably long enough to decide if you really like a person. I’ve decided I really like Clay. He’s decided to tolerate me liking him.

Hopefully that should get us through another twenty years or so.

Congratulations on 20 years – wow!

FYI — my hubby and I will celebrate 16 years this month … so not too far behind y’all.
Congratulations!! So glad y’all tolerate each other as the world wouldn’t be the same without y’all together
) P.S. Love the photos, you and your family always make me smile!
Happy anniversary! The photos are priceless.
I do that thing with my mom’s age and mine all the time. Since she’s only 16 years older than me it totally weirds me out.
Congrats to both of you! I love the pictures. Happy HAPPY Anniversary!
You guys know you rock, right?
Congrats!!! Here’s to 20-plus more
Love the pictures!
Hey…you have the same anniversary as my husband and I! Only we just celebrated 25. Congratulations!
Congratulations on twenty years, hope you have many more years of wedded bliss!
(Long-time reader, first-time commentor here. I enjoy reading your blog immensely!)
Happy anniversary! It sure is nice to have you blogging again.
Congratulations to you ! I celebrate 15 years, for the 31th of august.
I met my husband when I was 20 and his oldest brother was 40, married for 10 years. I remember I told my sister in law : “10 years !!!!!!! WHAO !!!!! Easy to tolerate each others ??”… 15 years for us, now …
Still don’t have the answer …
Ellen did a fantastic job on the photos – love the 2 where you’re cutting up (as usual!). But that first one – ahhh, that is worthy of enlarging and putting in a beautiful frame. It’s magnificent. Probably the only one of its kind!
I love your pictures…you two are so beautiful!! I have to agree with Nancy, Ellen did a wonderful job taking your photos. I love seeing other people who have been married as long as me or longer. I have been married for 18 years and it was one of those moments for me when I realized I had had my maiden name the same amount of time I had my maiden name. Yes, I got married when I was 18. Congratulations and thanks for being such a wonderful example!
we’ve been married 46 years. We don’t take cute pictures any more. We have both said we would still have done it knowing what we know now!! Looks like you are off to a good start.
congrats… love the pictures! We just had our 10th this year and that was sort of mind-blowing for me!
Awwwww you guys are so cute!
We are pushing 25, but have been together for almost 30 (since I was 15….eek!)
We couldn’t be happier. I think you all feel the same.
Happy happily ever after!
Congratulations! Twenty years is a BIG DEAL! Very happy for you both!
I love that you guys love each other so much-it really shows. I think it’s great. My husband and I have been married 37 years! Wow, where has the time gone! I promise you , it only gets better! Congratulatios!
WOW! Happy Anniversary! Neither of you look old enough to have been married that long! (Well, maybe Clay, when he’s frowning [the second photo] …)
Congratulations! A sense of humor is a very important part of a good marriage.
Happpy Anniversary!
