Day 7305

On May 24, 1987, Mrs. Jogger and I stood before our assembled family and friends and pledged our undying love for each other. Twenty years later, we've had our ups and downs, but we are still very much in love.

Back then, of course, we were the most important things in each other's lives. Now, we spend most of our days worrying about kids and jobs and pets and household chores. Then, we spent a lot of time and energy learning how to live together. Now, living together comes so naturally that we forget to stop and think about how lucky we are. Then, we were young and starry-eyed. Now, we're old and starry-eyed.

Grandma and Grandpa Jogger were married for 40 years before he died. Grandma and Grandpa Walker were married for 50. So long marriages run in our families. I expect that we've got a long time to go. I hope so. It's been a wonderful ride.
