is our 29th Anniversary.
Yes, Mrs RC and I have been together for 29 years, and married for 13 of those years.
Yes it was a long engagement, but not wasted - during that time we had four wonderful children!
During these years we have had many great times. We have also had some terrible times, but have stuck together through it all and are stronger than ever for it. We have never blamed each other for things that have gone wrong, but have pulled together to get through.
Mrs RC posted on Facebook about a drink of water that I am still paying for. On the evening when we started seeing each other, we were at a friend's place. He had made one of his signiture very hot curries, and Mrs RC had a large glass of water. I asked for some of the water, but as she handed me the glass she said "It will cost you." Apparently I have still not finished paying for it! Another 10 years at least, she says! (Modern day slavery? :-) ) Not that I am complaining, we have a great life together. Our relationship seems to be like a good wine or whisky, getting even better with age...
I have a day off tomorrow, so we will be getting some time together before I head off to collect Number One Son from Uni on Saturday. Everyone will be at home for the summer again - can't wait!

Happy Anniversary, I guess the long engagement was to make sure! And I'd say Mrs. RC is a shrewd businesswoman. A glass of water in times of very hot curry is a highly valuable thing!
Congratulations! It must have been the best water you've ever had. ;)
It seems to me that you two have a terrific relationship. Your love and respect for each other shines through in many of your posts. You've done well in your 29 years together!
Enjoy your day together!
Aww! That is a sweet post. And neither of you look old enough for that number of anniversary. Did you meet in the sandbox?
Happy Anniversary! You guys make an exceptional couple. I guess it must have been the water. It may have taken a little longer to get there, but the really good things take time.
Well, all I can say is ***CONGRATULATIONS*** on loving each other for 29 years. A grand achievement in this day and age. And she still lets you play soldiers and play in a rock band... what a woman!!! OlderSon and The Equestrienne have been together now for 12 years, I wonder if they will ever take the plunge.... somehow I think not.
Have a wonderful anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! You two have figured out how to do things right. I'm sure you don't mind continuing to work off the cost of that drink of water.
Happy Anniversary. If I'm not mistaken, I remember you had one around this time last year. Having our daughter and son-in-law with us for THREE DAYS gave us a new outlook on life. Enjoy each second. They add up. So do the ones you don't enjoy. The trick is to make sure the happy seconds are multiples. with love, dana
29 years together is something I can't even imagine but I am really glad you both are so happy with your time together. Some of us could take some lessons from you. Happy Anniversary.
