Thirty-two years ago today I met my husband. Yes, we’ve been together for 32 years. We got married five years and one day after we met, so we’ll celebrate our anniversary tomorrow, but today is a perfect day for me to talk about the passion we’ve shared over the decades.
When we first met, it was all about passion. In fact, since it was the 80’s, we often listed to R.E.M.’s Talk About The Passion–although it’s hardly a romantic love song.
As our kids got older, their passions became our passions–school plays, travel soccer, BMX, lacrosse.
Now that we’re empty nesters, we’re back to our passions–cycling, hiking, skiing, and other things that get our heart rates up. 😉
Thanks to Deb for picking such a perfect word for me
for today’s Wednesday Word link up.

I LOVELOVELOVE this.
You two and your commitment to each other give me hope.
<3
aww so cute! I love it -what great role models for your kids you are. Hope you have a fabulous anniversary!
Happy anniversary! Our 30th is a bit less than a month away. I recently used our good china, which I rarely do, and discovered a small chip on the bottom. Which kind of reminds me of marriage — it may get chipped, but it’s still together.
I’ve had many passions in my life — some are brief, some are lifelong, some wax & wane. But I think the most important thing is to just have something that you ARE passionate about!
That is SO true! And something my kids are struggling with!
I love that you picked one of my favorite songs for your post (I did too!) and that you and your husband are together after all these years. We just celebrated 27 years of marriage and yes, we’ve been together for 32 years as well!
Oh, how fun that we’ve been together the same length of time. Maybe there is some magic in that song. 😉
Happy early anniversary! My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for 6. We share some common interests, but I love that our passions are different (me: running, him: music) so we have a place to be an individual, but also things to talk about. I’m always curious to know what he’s interested in lately, new bands he’s found, because I like to see the excitement on his face when he talks about it!
I agree that it’s important to have separate interests too. Cycling is not my main passion, but he convinced me to try it with him and I have been surprised at how much I have come to enjoy it.
This is very sweet! It’s so awesome when you find someone who shares your passions. Here’s to 32+++ more!
Thanks! I’m counting on it!
this is the best. i love it. happy early anniversary!!!
Thanks! Time flies – you’ll be celebrating yours before you know it!
Happy Anniversary! It is such a treasure to see marriages that have a lasting love to them. <3 May God give you many more years!
Happy Anniversary, Coco and hubs! The timing of Deb’s word couldn’t have been more perfect for you. Enjoy the empty nester’s phase. We’ll soon be there too. 😉
Ironically, we’re going to visit my daughter this weekend although we’ll have plenty of time alone together too.
Happy anniversary!!! What a sweet post! congrats to you both! 🙂 🙂 <3
Happy Anniversary! You look cute together, here’s to another 32 more!
What an amazing accomplishment! Congratulations on your anniversary, and may you share many more. 🙂
Awww, this is so sweet! I love the many different passions you share with your husband! Happy anniversary!
Thanks for linking up!
Thanks! The word couldn’t have been more perfect this week!
Congratulations on your anniversary! I’m inspired by your enjoyment of each other, that’s so wonderful and something of which to be proud. Congrats!
