32 years


Tomorrow it will be 32 years since I walked down the aisle and pledged my self, my life, my love to this man.


Did I know what I was getting into? Absolutely not!

Have there been hardtimes? yes

Times I thought we wouldn't make it? yes, those too

Would I do it all over again? Absolutely, yes!

It has been the adventure of a lifetime and I would love doing it all again!

He is my life, my love, and my salvation. He has shown me the world in ways I would never have known and shown me the Lord in ways I could never explain nor can hardly comprehend even now. Without him I would be one of the many lost sheep wandering in the wilderness not only of this life but of the spirit. With his gentle guidance I have found great joy in this earthly existence and incredible freedom and purpose in the kingdom of God. I thank my God daily for this man He has given me to walk with me, to be my friend and lover, and to show me the way home.

The journey thus far has been amazing...not stoppin now.

Happy anniversary, baby, I love you.

You two make quite a snazzy couple - congrats to recognizing that marriage isn't about feeling good or always being on top. It is about hard work - the hardest we may ever do and learning through the years to be flexible. Here to you two!!!

What a wonderful photo of you two, Cheryl. You're two years ahead of me - I'm celebrating 30 next month. And I would say exactly all the same things you said. Some marriages truly are just made in heaven and this yours is one of them.

Happy Anniversary! You two look wonderful together.

This is so nice to read, Cheryl. Marriage is not easy (all the time) but certainly worth the hard times that sometimes come our way.

I'm glad too that you liked my political post. I have my fingers crossed!

What a beautiful photo and testimony to your marriage (where is the wedding photo????)!!!! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello - I started Fall Into Cooking to motivate me into trying one new recipe a week - so far it's working. I have had only one 'ick' and that was the smothered steak. I would love to have that cornbread salad recipe!!!

happy happy belated anniversary!!!
