Miles and I met at 15 and 16.We married at 22 & 23.
We have always had a wonderful, GROWING relationship…we have had our ups and downs, as everyone but so far so good!
Neither of us ponder a long time. We bought our Highland Park home quickly and made it “OUR” own over 48 years (so far)!
We bought our condo in Florida also quickly , they are just places.
We shared the responsibilities of our home and working…though Miles retired very early.
Miles was VERY successful in the Allstate insurance business, won every trip and we traveled all over with Allstate, they gave VERY elaborate parties & gifts on these trips. It was clear Miles was very well thought of and newer agents told me they are always told to” do what Miles does”& you will be succesful!
We also traveled on our own to beautiful resorts and wonderful trips CRUISES, THOUGH WE AREN’T BIG FANS OF CRUSIES, LAND TRIPS CHINA, SOUTEAST ASIA,RUSSIA,BERLIN, FRANCE ,TURKEY,GREECE,MEXICO, AUSTRIALA,NEW ZEALAND, AMSTERDAMN,SPAIN ,CANADA, IRELAND, LONDON UK, AND many more . My theory was “travel as often as you can, the best way you can, as fast as you can.
Miles always bought me lovely things, jewelry, purses clothes etc. On our 40th anniversary I was shocked to receive a big beautiful ring! Never dreamed of this…however it came with a wonderful letter reminiscing through the years, so beautifully written, and ended with telling me he wouldn’t be where he is if it wasn’t for me…(that would have been enough), But I really enjoy my beautiful ring…. lucky me! Actually Miles did take a little prodding and pushing through the years.!
