Today was our 18th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately we were so busy and tired we did not get to spend much time celebrating. But, we both smiled at each other and laughed at the day. After being together this long (though I know it is not long compared to some), just being together is what matters. We worshipped the Lord together, napped together for a short time, went to a meeting together, counseled a struggling marriage together and now we are about to spend some time playing cards with the kids together. What a joy it is to be able to just love being together. We have a date scheduled for later in the week but as for today, we just enjoyed life together. God has blessed our marriage greatly and has allowed us the opportunity to help other marriages and for this we are very grateful. The Lord has allowed us to endure great trials and pulled us through them all. It has been a journey with both highs and lows but well worth it in the long run.
Thank you Mom and Dad for your example to us being married 50 years. We look forward to the day we will be there.

Kristine,
It truly is a blessing to be so happy. We weren't always and it took perserverance to get through the tough times. We stood by God and His promises and He has blessed us beyond anything we could ask or imagine. Thank you and everyone for your well wishes.
