Seven Years

Seven years ago today I married my best friend.  

Our pastor was kind enough to to marry us on his own wedding anniversary.

That day we were blessed with the presence of our family and great friends.

Blessed with the presence of our four children...

(A little experiment with the teeth whitening feature in Photoshop.  I turned down the amount of whitening after this...but thought the picture was funny and wanted to post it as is)

And blessed with the presence of our Father God.

This past seven years we have been blessed with great times, good times, and even not so good times.

but through it all...we keep our focus on the commitment we made that day.  After all, marriage is a commitment - it is not a feeling.  

This commitment comes in to play when you have a husband who does not even go out to get an anniversary card until 6:15 on the evening of said anniversary!!!


Oh well...he DID pick out a good one so that kinda made up for it...that and the bottle of amaretto...AND the very large bag of dark chocolate m&m's.  


I think I can forgive him!
