Our 21st Anniversary

Today, Scott and I celebrate our 21st anniversary. It seems like only yesterday that my tall, handsome prince awaited me at the front of the church. He looked so handsome in his white tux. Even then, I knew I was a blessed woman. I didn't deserve the wonderful man who was about to pledge his life to me as his wife. I was one lucky gal and I knew it. We were so young, so full of life. We were so eager to begin our lives together. I never imagined loving someone like I do him. I knew he was special, and so did my family.

Looking back at our lives, the ups, the downs, three children, my cancer, his knee surgery, plus a plethera of other life experiences we shared together, I realize now more than ever how blessed I truly am. God has truly intertwined our hearts as one. I couldn't imagine life without my husband. I am truly thankful that God has blessed us in our marriage, in our relationship with each other, and with our children. I know that without Christ, we could not have made it this far. You know what he told me yesterday? "I love you more deeply than you'll ever know!" My heart fluttered and my eyes welled up.

So I wanted to thank my wonderful husband for 21 years of patience with me, kitchen disasters, dirty diapers, marathon shopping trips, and hundreds of pairs of shoes.

Scott, I love you so very much!
