JB,

Congratulations to you and Etna!

Five years is very noteworthy in RW-AM land.

Has it been that long?  I remember reading of your recent marriage when I first read the RW forums.

I am certain every day has been a joy.  It was about three years ago, if my fading memory is correct, that you wrote a note about your life settling into place for the two of you after some initial adjustment.  You commented something to the effect that life was perfect.  That spoke volumes to me and it encouraged me to keep trying.

I imagine life is even better today.  For sure, this daily “torture” (as you call it) of kindness, fun, conversation, partnering, sharing and loving has taken effect because you are much mellower than five years ago.

Time fly by, doesn't it? 

Isn't 5 years quite too short for your marriage with your Russian girl?  10 years?  15 years?  20 years?   

Congratulations, jb, for reaching this milestone! 

 :thumbsup:

May you enjoy every moment being with Etna..

Thank you for setting a good example for people on this board and all of your timeless wisdoms!

Did you say Etna deserves a Medal putting up with you for 5 years?
It must be the George cross we have in UK.

Congratulations to you and Etna!
