Wow internet that is a long time.
Well it’s not really a long time if you are a tree or a rock or a giant squid.
BUT it is a long time to have been married.
Today is my anniversary, The Spouse and I have been together for 25 years.
I often flippantly say that I found him on the side of the road and decided to keep him, well that is true, up to a point.
I didn’t really decide to keep “The Spouse” until four years later.
What I don’t say is that I only went out with The Spouse for a few months when I was seventeen.
“The Spouse” swears that for him, it was love at first sight. He says he just knew that I was the one for him.
At the fickle age of seventeen I just thought he was rather hot and very fuckable. I went out with him for a few months and then dumped him when he started to talk about long term plans.
At the words lets settle down,I went WTF and bolted.
I bumped into Jeff at the pub again when I was 18 or 19 and one look into those eyes of his and I was immediately smitten again. But once again he vowed and declared that I was the only one for him and I was off like a shot.
At the age of 20 I was living a rather torrid life. The share house I was living in was full of crazy people doing crazy people things. I was working night shift in a popular blues nightclub and I wasn’t just burning the candle at both ends, I was putting a blow torch to the middle of the fucker as well.
Enter “The Spouse” into my life again
Third time must have been the trick because on my 21st birthday I decided that maybe there was some merit to settling down with this bloke and so I jumped onto the back of his motorcycle and we have never looked back.
I like this photo very much, even though I joke that I should have moved the knife block a bit closer.
“The Spouse is often underneath my car fixing it for me.
I was telling him to pose for the camera and we got the giggles.
This is my favourite “Arty” shot of the Spouse.
Hey Jeffrey Foale. I do Love you!

Sweet !
It is a VERY long time – with Silver linings and all that stuff – best wishes for the next 25yrs
May you always be warmed by each other’s smile and splattered by sptiz and giggles. Love the knife in Jeff’s back.
That’s just lovely! I met my lovely Mart in Feb ’78, we were engaged in the July and married in the December. Best decision I ever made – and it wasn’t an easy one either!! I was recently arrived from 3 years in the UK and was jaded by ‘relationships’ even at that young age. Had to travel half a World to find him and it was SO worth it. Loving your ‘lovedupness’ Kim – Congrats to you both and blessings for many more years of the same.
Congratulations, time flies doesn’t it!
PS, I also got married when I was 21 ( a good year) and next month will be our 38th anniversary.
Congrats!
You two give me hope, very much hope. Congrats. X
Awwww! Congratulations to you both! LOVE your story too 🙂 xoxoxoxo
Congratulations on 25 years!
Happy Anniversary!!
May the next 25 years be just as happy.
Just wonderful. The smaller portion and I have been together over 30 years now and while we irritate each other often, I cannot imagine life without him.
I am hoping that the next 25 or even 50 years are good to you both.
Congratulations to the both of you. He looks like a big softy (does he own a Harley Davidson? He looks like one of those guys.). Nice eyes indeed. May you keep giggling for many years to come 😉
Cheers to hot, fuckable blokes!!! x
