Celebrating Eleven Years

On June 28th, 1997, I promised to love my man for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death parts us. Our wedding day was everything we wanted.

Since then, we have lived in 6 different homes, changed jobs 4 times, and celebrated 3 little miracles born into our family. We have grown closer and closer to the Lord, learned how to give and receive, how to communicate honestly, love unconditionally, apologize and forgive, serve and sacrifice, encourage and come alongside, and how to extend our arms to welcome many into our home and family.

We love to laugh together, play and parent together. We love to minister together, and love people together. We can finish each others' sentences and one-up one another with '80s music trivia. He is better at Scrabble, but I'll play with him anyway. When one is tired, the other will take over. When one is sad, the other knows it, even from across the room. When one sings a wrong note the other smiles encouragingly and doesn't laugh. :)

We are a team, and we know very well that we are blessed to have one another.

I love Scott, more now than I did on our wedding day. I thank the Lord for giving me these years to share with this man.
