    18 years, What?

    August 30, 2015 - By 

    Today is Rob and my 18th wedding anniversary! Every year I’m amazed at how quickly time is flying by and it is just incredible. No one realized how life and in turn marriage changes through the years. Rob and Me on New Year’s Eve Day 2014 in Key West FloridaWhen we first got married we enjoyed date nights with deep conversations, staying up late working on little projects around the house, jumping in the car for an impromptu jaunt to where ever our hearts desired, and lots and lots of studying because we were still in college. Then, with kids…

    Happy Anniversary, Rob! Today Rob and I are celebrating 17 years of marital bliss! I couldn’t be happier to have spent this time with him through all the trials and tribulations that life brings.

    14 Years…Really?

    August 30, 2011 - By 

    Dear Rob, I just can’t believe it’s been 14 years since we tied the knot! I think back to through the years. It makes me happy to know that we’ve stuck through all the ups and downs through these years. What we’ve gone through in the last 4 years would be enough to test any relationship! For some, troubled times strengthens the marriage, for some it weakens the relationship, and for most, it breaks the relationship. During these troubled times, I’ve asked God, “Why me? Why us?” and as I sit and write this, I can say I think we’ve…

    Happy 13th Anniversary!

    August 20, 2010 - By 

    I wanted to wish my wonderful husband a happy wedding anniversary! 13 years! Here’s a pic of us at our reception, before it started pouring down rain. Here’s an anniversary prayer I found recently. Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us. To work that love into practical things so nothing can divide us. We ask for words both kind and loving, and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive. Dear Lord, we put our marriage into your hands. Amen.
