Happy Anniversary!

On June 19, 2008, Doug and I celebrated our 27th Wedding Anniversary. Hurray for us!! In today's world this is a really big deal because we live in such a disposable society. If marriage doesn't work out according to our personal ideals, it is easy enough to bail and try again with someone else...or not even attempt a 2nd try. Our journey together has brought many challenges and heartache, but we have also experienced some amazing days that have brought about laughter, smiles, the realization of certain goals, a beautiful family, happy moments and joyful events! We have grown, individually and collectively, in ways that we would have never expected or chosen. It has been our greatest challenge in life, but the most rewarding... Worthwhile relationships typically are! I recently heard that "Love is not a feeling that comes and goes...It is a choice and God wants us to make that choice." Doug was the choice of my youth and has always been the choice of my heart...So this is for you, Doug...I love you! There's no one I want to struggle with more, fight with, cry with, laugh with, talk with, share with or Love...now and for always. Happy 27th Anniversary, Doug! I love you!
