For Whom the Wedding Bells Toll

It was a quarter century ago that I signed my marriage certificate with my husband, Kevin. That staggers my imagination. Because inside the walls of my head, I'm still about fourteen, and just discovering the world. How could I have been married for 25 years?

They have been wonderful years. I'm so lucky to have been with Kevin H. Evans for all this time. He is kind and loving, and a great protector. He and I stand together through all the storms and trials. He is my courage and my encouragement. If not for him, I would never have dared to risk my fragile self-esteem on the whims and vagaries of critics and readers.

Many of you have never seen the plain and precious things I have seen in my husband, but only know him as "scary Kevin". That's all right, I can treasure them up in my heart and keep them for my own.

I'm ready for another quarter century as long as I get to do this trip with him at my side. I love you, Kevin.

    Wow! Karen! So when I met you all, you were newlyweds! I didn't know that. Happy Anniversary and here's to the next 25!
    Hugs,

    I don't think we announced it to everyone. I always think of Germany as my 5 year honeymoon with 2 children. Thanks for your wishes!
