19

Today my bride and I will have been married 19 years. I was going to say "today we celebrate 19 years", but our anniversary celebration this year is Sonya spending the night with 8 1st & 2nd grade girls at Kid's Camp and me spending the night with Isaac and a couple of his Jr. high friends. Who would have thought it would deteriorate to this? Fortunately I'm still on my honeymoon after 19 years. Marriage just gets better and better every year. I am a blessed husband.

I tried to log in last night after Isaac went to bed to post for the day, but for some reason it wouldn't log in. Everyone else it at camp, so I ended up reading my blog posts from 2007. I laughed a few times, was sad a couple of times, and smiled a lot. It brought back memories of my kids, church, and friends. Baptisms, funerals, sports, sermons, family and friends. Thanks to both of you who read this for sharing my life with me.

Be Refreshed!

and lacks nothing of value.

all the days of her life.
