A Special Day

I am almost out of time to get this posted. Nothing like waiting until the last minute. . .

Today is a very special day for me. Thirteen years ago, at approx. 2:00 p.m. at Rock Springs Baptist Church, I married the love of my life. Although many people who attended and even the most precious Pastor of my life have passed away, everyone present will always have a special place in my heart.

For that was the day I sealed my commitment to my best friend and my rock.

Keith jokingly says that we’ve been married 13 long and glorious years – some more long than glorious, but I wouldn’t trade a minute of those long years.

Through those times we have become stronger.

Through the sorrows and ‘discussions’,

Through the laughter and the sickness –

We have stuck together.

And our faith has strengthened.

And God’s grace becomes even more evident.

And His peace and love surround us, every day.

So I want to thank you, Keith, for standing with me in every challenge.

For being my husband, a good father, and most of all, my best friend.

I’ll love you always, and through eternity.

Happy Anniversary.

Thank you, Shana. I am glad you're not dead yet (LOL). I guess that sounded kind of morbid, but after watching our wedding video (VHS not DVD that's how long its been), we noticed how many people have passed away. Time sure does fly - whether you're having fun or not!! It does seem like it was just yesterday.
