Twenty Years


Last week my husband and I celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary.  Twenty years!  It's hard to believe.  I have now spent almost half my life married.

In twenty years so much has happened in our lives:
We have had four children.

We have shared six homes in three different states.

We have been members of five churches.

We have worked and lived and loved and played together.

I don't really feel much older than my 21 year old self, although I'm sure I look it.  I'm certainly a better cook than I was in those early days, and unfortunately my waistline shows it.

Twenty years is a long time to get to know someone, but I hope we get another twenty years (or two) to share.

I think this is what being blessed means.

Congratulations! In the world today, twenty years is becoming a rarity. May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.

Congratulations Kate!

We also celebrated 20 years at the beginning of December. It seems like forever ago, given our wedding day memories have faded. And yet it feels like we've been married just a mere moment. Odd isn't it.

Here's to lots more good years ahead :)

Happy anniversary, and I know you feel blessed. In this day and age a stable marriage is not as common as it once was. So much to be grateful for, and this has to be a topper!
