19 years ago today I married my husband. It was a beautiful fall day with sun shining and a crisp, chill in the air. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. And what a beautiful celebration that brought our families together for the wedding ceremony (which was at 1:00) and then get-togethers at my Mom and Dad's house for my relatives and a get-together at Chris' Grandma and Grandpa's house for their family. Reception at 6:00 so there was a lot of time in between to entertain!
I can't believe it's been 19 years. SO much has happened in these years: deaths of family and friends, births of our children and nephews, nieces, cousins and friends' kids, lots of moving and experiencing different parts of our amazing country, making friends in all the places we lived, traveling all over the U.S. and even a trip to Germany, many different jobs, hardships, illnesses, surgeries, many college classes, lots of churches we worshipped in, lots of laughter, lots of love, lots of tears and so much in between. It's been quite a ride! And one that I would choose over and over and over again. Would I change some things? Well, I might be tempted to say yes, such as avoiding unemployment, but when I reflect back on those hardships, it made us stronger, more resilient and increased our faith. How could we trade that?
Happy Anniversary to my husband, Chris. It's been a great life and I'm looking forward to many more years!
