Our Anniversary ~ 36 Years

Our wedding day ~ 36 years ago today. Wow....simply hard to believe! Alden and I got married right here in this area. We were married at Bolling AFB. My dad was stationed at the Pentagon. Alden and I met at NC State ~ he a senior and yes, me a freshman. We had the ceremony at the chapel on the base, reception at the Officer's Club, spent our wedding night in DC and headed down to Mississippi the next day. Alden was in the AF and stationed

at Keesler AFB. Our honeymoon consisted of driving down the interstate from DC to Mississippi. We didn't care at all. We were together and happy as could be! Alden picked out an apt. for us, before I arrived ~ a one bedroom, "furnished" apt. RIGHT outside our bedroom window was a train track and yes.....an active one!!!! Oh my. We got used to it though. We were in Mississippi for 6 months and then moved to Sacramento, CA ~ McClellan AFB.

A few tidbits from our early married life.

My best friend ~oh how I love this man! Happy Anniversary Alden!
