Today, April 24th, is a very special occasion for Tim and me.
So happy we found each other
Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary to the best husband, partner, father, travel companion and friend a woman could ask for.
As we walk down memory lane, I wanted to share a few of my favorite travel pictures of the two of us together shot around the world over the past few years. I hope you will enjoy reminiscing and celebrating with us.

I saved my very favorite for last. Tim took this picture of us in Belgium and it sums up our relationship, filled with love, whimsy, fun and adventure. Somehow he managed to place our shadows perfectly in the frame as we shared a kiss.
The Kiss ~ Brugge, Belgium
GRATITUDE MOMENT: My biggest gift, and what I am MOST grateful for is the loving relationship Tim and I are so blessed to have. Happy Anniversary Sweetheart. Together we have raised an amazing son who I could not be more proud of, built a business together, and are now living our dreams. Thank you for sharing this wonderful, exciting, fun filled, adventurous life with me. You are loved beyond words…JJ

Not everyone finds lasting happiness with a partner, so it’s wonderful that you have found it. Wishing you a very happy 25th year of marriage; the journey has obviously been fascinating; the photos great. Long may it all continue. I’ve also been very fortunate: lived in three countries (born UK; short time in Canada, retired to Spain.), Fair travels and three sons in between. Now married 64 years… to a wonderful man.
