My wealth is not in money. Yup, still going VERY strong. You betcha it's a good thing. First kiss, first and only boyfriend. I'm his first and only too. Not many of us out there I'm afraid.
ExSoldier going onto 16 years - and you know that's pretty cool too!
Yes it is.
That's the way it should be.
That's a beautiful story, Mama.
I have one also.
Mr. RR and I met during our senior year of high school. According to his mother, I got him pregnant and had to marry him. That was forty three years ago. "They" said it would never last.
Here we are. Three children and six grandchildren later....life could not be sweeter.
Mr. RR spent four years in the AirForce. After that we used the G.I. Bill to help with college. I went right along with him. We really struggled....but we made it.
With the grace and blessings of God, the loving support of our parents (no financial help, they just weren't able to help), we accomplished our goals. Even though we were eligible for welfare and government financial aid during those really tough college years, we did not take advantage of it. Too much pride, I guess.
Anyway, long story short. Mr. RR is my best friend, my love , and he tolerates my Threat Matrix obsession.
