14 years!!!

Mike and I are celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary today!!!  The time has gone by so fast and reflecting back, it's been great!!! 

Our wedding day started out with the weather like today.  Snow on the ground.  Sunshine.  More snow falling as we said our vows!  We took wedding pictures in the snow!  We didn't care how cold or warm the weather was!  We were in love and ready to get married!  :)

Mike came early that January morning to pick me up at my house.  We went together to take pictures before the morning ceremony.  Family and friends met us too.  Then we went to the church that I spent so much time at that week.  We decorated and prepared for this great and wonderful day!!!

Mike and I both can say that it's one of the funnest days of our lives.  We enjoyed the whole day so much with the people that meant so much to us right then!  We were blessed with many gifts and memories!!!  If you were a part of the special day with us, thank you again for your friendships!!!  God has brought us together and continues to mold us!

We went to Cancun, Mexico, for our honeymoon.  We loved every minute of it and said that we would come back at our 5th anniversary.  :)  Funny how things change though!  Our love didn't and we thought about taking the trip but by then we had a home to pay off, two children and going to Mexico looked doubtful!  Mike did say that he loves to visit cities, so we've done different trips along the years.  We have yet to make that the warm trip south together as an anniversary trip!  When we do, it will be grand!!!  :)

Over the years, we've had challenges but mostly learned to love each other more and more.  Marriages are falling apart every day in America and so standing strong on our vows is important for us!!!  Reading the Bible together.  Praying together.  Crying together.  Laughing, lots, together!  Sharing our pet peaves before they become major uproars has helped.  :)  Giving each other space to hang out with friends and alone time has helped too! 

Mike has been a great dad to each of our three children.  They all three love his attention, time, love, hugs and kisses and mostly the time playing on the floor.  They get the biggest kick out of him wrestling with them!  After supper, we have tons of action in the living room!  I love it and know that in a few short years, the kids will be grown and not asking to wrestle.

Thanks Hun, for the many years of great blessings and joy!  Being married to you is wonderful!  We don't know all the answers in life, but together it makes them much easier!  Falling in love with each other is something that God placed in us.  A strong love that will last forever!!!  Thank you for your love, devotion to God, trust, faith, and humor!  You are the man of my dreams!!!

Here are a few pictures that I pulled up from the computer!!!  I love to be with this man!!!  He stole my heart years ago!!!












 
May God bless us with many more years together!!!

PS.  I am looking forward to a date night with him this week!!!  :)  Can't wait!
