THESE FLOWERS HE ARRANGED AND BROUGHT TO ME AT WORK TODAY (WITH A KISS)...

Years ago.. I told him that I just prefer that HE does my flowers.. seems like it's just more from the heart when he does, and I deeply appreciate them!  The "vase" in an OLD PITCHER.. and I LOVE IT! (AND HIM)

we go back a really long time..

here we had been out riding the bikes.. I was 8 years old and he was 16... "we were totally innocent" as far as being together.. but he did tell my mom when I was 8 that once I got old enough we would get married... and 8 years later.. we did!!!

                      =====================

THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN RIGHT AFTER WE WERE MARRIED.. WE GOT MARRIED AT MOM AND DAD'S HOUSE.. THEN WENT TO CHURCH FOR A DINNER.... AND WENT BACK TO MOM AND DAD'S FOR CAKE AFTERWARDS... IT MUST HAVE BEEN 9:30 OR SO BY THE TIME WE LEFT TO GO TO OUR LITTLE APARTMENT.. SEEMED SOOO ODD TO JUST GET UP AND GO.. ESPECIALLY THAT TIME OF NIGHT WITH OUT PERMISSION!  MY GRANDPARENTS CAME IN FROM FLORIDA THE NEXT DAY (*.*)

THIS WAS TAKEN ON OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY... WE WERE GOING OUT FOR THE EVENING.. THEN WE HAD A HUGE PARTY AT THE MOOSE... AND HAD SO MUCH FUN!

===========================

We sure have changed in looks since then... but then, that is "part of life!"

WE PRAY THAT OUR PATH TOGETHER CONTINUES.. AND WE JUST KEEP GROWING CLOSER AND STRONGER...  AND ENJOY AS VERY MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO US AND OUR WONDERFUL AND LOVING FAMILY.. THANKS GOD!

WELL, HERE IS MY "LITTLE BLACK CAR"

WAITING TO GET PAINTED.. THE REPAIRS ARE MADE.. AND JUST WAITING FOR THE PAINT.. THEN THE PROTECTIVE COAT... SO, HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET IT BACK SOON NOW.. SURE WILL BE EASIER ON GAS!!!  IT'S BEEN NICE HIM TAKING ME TO AND FRO BUT.. HARD ON GAS!!! THEN WE WILL BE BACK ON PATH!

PRAYING FOR GOD'S SWEET AND LOVING ARMS TO BE WRAPPED AROUND EACH OF US AND THAT HE WILL BLESS US SPIRITUALLY, PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, FINANCIALLY, AND WITH HIS LOVE, GUIDANCE, GRACE AND MERCIES. AND GIVING HIM DAILY THANKS FOR ALL HE DOES FOR EACH OF US.. PRAYING THAT OUR PATHS WILL BE FILLED WITH HIS AWESOME "SON"LIGHT...
