32 Years and counting....

Today is our 32nd anniversary. It's hard to believe that the time has flown by so quickly. When I was young, I remember thinking how slowly time moved. I thought I would never grow up. Well now that I am old (and still haven't grown up) I realize that the time has zoomed by at warp speed. Let this be a cautionary tale...redeem the time!!! Don't waste a moment. Life is NOT a dress rehearsal. This is the live show.

Now, since this is my blog, I am going to tell you a little bit about the wonderful man I married. He is one of the hardest workers I have ever known. He has spent his life providing abundantly for his family. He has always made time to spend with me and the girls - he became a soccer ref so he could have something in common with the girls and be able to be at all the games. He has taken me on dream vacations - when it wasn't his favorite thing to do. He has been loyal and completely trustworthy as a spouse. More importantly, though, he has been faithful to God and his responsibilities to his church, family and friends. I could not have asked for a better mate with which to go through life. I thank God for him every day.

Happy Anniversary Sweetie. I love you!!!

SPRING HAS SPRUNG.......

Since Spring has finally arrived, I thought I would share a couple of pictures of the flowers in my garden. Since we didn't move into this house until mid Summer last year, I am not responsible for the beautiful flower beds. Believe me, if I had planted them, they would not be beautiful. I pretty much have a black thumb.

Be that as it may, the previous owners had green thumbs and I am reaping the benefit of their expertise. Hopefully I can avoid killing them off.

In other Spring-y news,l golf starts on Tuesday night. I hope it doesn't matter that I haven't golfed since we went to Phoenix in March. Hopefully I won't golf my best since we set handicaps that night.

The countdown has also begun to the arrival of Shyla & Clay. Only four more days to go and they will be here. YEAH!!! I can't wait to see them. Hopefully the weather will stay nice for their visit.

It has been a busy weekend so far. We spent the entire morning working to clean the church building, and hospitality house. There was a lot accomplished. Many hands make light work!!!

That's about it for updated news. I hope all of my faithful readers are having a glorious Spring as well!!!

Surely Not.....

Our oldest daughter's birthday is today - which is wonderful - except that she is 30! How can that be????? I am only 29 myself. Isn't that physically and mathematically impossible?????? I know it must shock everyone that I have a 30 year old daughter.

The hard truth is that I am old enough to have a 30 year-old. Oh well, it sure beats the alternative. Since I don't have a more recent picture, I am including one from her law school graduation last year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHYLA!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
