Today we celebrate 22 years of marriage! Wow! What an
absolute blessing! The celebration actually commenced last Sunday as I began
sharing our love story each day. It was great taking that walk down memory
lane. Reliving the good times and the not so good times really makes you
appreciate every second that God has blessed us with. The good times left us
all nostalgic and the bad times left us praising God for seeing us through and
remembering that our lives apart from God are nothing. It is only by HIS amazing
grace and mercy that these two humans can continue to build on this marriage
with so much love and respect for each other.
Last year on our 21st anniversary we spent the
day in the hospital as Matt was having an ACL repair done on his knee. I am
thankful to report that we are spending our 22nd anniversary in the
quietness of our home, surrounded by our three awesome kiddos, and faithful
dog, Louie. Yes, we are big party animals. Haha! In all honesty, this is
exactly where we want to be today. Enjoying the blessing of home and family, out
of the busyness of life. We will get time away…soon, but today this is where
our celebration is. I think Caleb is almost as excited about our anniversary as
we are. Lol! He told me the other night that he could tell I was so happy about
our anniversary and as I walked down stairs this morning, he was waiting at the
bottom of the stairs singing a little anniversary “diddy” that only Caleb could
compose! Ha! That boy is something else! J
My heart is overflowing with thanksgiving today! My amazing
hubby is still just that after all these years! And though I have said I love
him more today than I did 22 years ago, I also like him more too. Yes! He is
still the one I would rather spend all my time with. He is still by best
friend. He is still the one who makes me laugh more than anyone else. He is
still the one!
Today we will reminisce with our kids about our wedding and
we will probably break out the wedding video and let them watch it …again. Lol!
(Torturing your kids in this way is a perk of parenting! ;) But we will
celebrate another year, ordained by Almighty God, to love each other and honor
HIM with our lives and our marriage.
Blessings on this most perfect day…our 22nd anniversary!
“…but the greatest of
these is love.”
1Corinthians 13:13b
