Ok it’s late, but I couldn’t sleep! Just reflecting on marriage, life, love… The 19th was our 29th anniversary, and I guess I’m just about the luckiest (and most blessed) girl in the world!! It was a busy day, but we squeezed in a sweet lunch date at a favorite restaurant before having our family Christmas party… We really wanted to celebrate more, so we decided to just keep celebrating a little each day for the next- oh, I don’t know- year or so??? Lol! No, seriously, we do love taking time for dates, special weekends, and just time together to laugh, cuddle, and look at each other – and time to talk about how old we are and about where all the time has gone and about how much we still love and treasure each other (in spite of those “I’m so mad at you” times, or the “I think I’m gonna pout a little” times😒). Nothing like spending time with your best friend- the person that knows you best and loves you most- no matter what! No one puts up with my mess-ups, mix-ups, mad days, or overly “me” days quite so well. No one is as patient and forgiving of a wife. No one makes me feel as special. No one sets a better Christian example for our family. No one is as tender hearted toward his family. And no one is nearly as cute!Yep, I’m just that blessed! Didn’t deserve it and don’t know why in the world I got to claim him, but I’m sticking with him through thick and thin, cause he’s definitely a keeper!! Happy Anniversary, Gil! I love you to the moon and back 🤗😍❤🌙⭐️😘
