Highlights of 36 years together? Leaving all we had behind and moving 400 miles away from family, trusting that God was in it all. Raising three wonderful kids together, Moving to four new places not all of them with a willing heart, Spending free time together, Worshipping together every Sunday of our married lives.

I am so glad to have my husband as partner, as friend, and companion in this walk!

Check out the e-card I sent you. I sent it before even seeing your latest blog. How's that for a friend keeping up?!

It is refreshing to see you tell the blogger land that marriage is still a good thing while the rest of the world sends different messages.

Congratulations on your 36 years.

May God bless you with many more years together!
