Oh my Goodness! I can't believe it has been 26 years since that first date! Remember you did my Chemistry report for a date and I got the one and only C of my life! Oh, well, it must have worked because honey you got me! I remember those days. You were my high school sweetheart. We were so in love. You left for college and I thought I would never survive until I could join you.
We spent the entire four years of college together doing homework and hanging out. My roommate Tonia surely did get sick of you!
You were always the affectionate one and I was the one always pushing you away! Ha, some things never change!
We were so crazy! The JOP plus $20.00 and we got married and headed to the ski slopes. I wouldn't have it any other way, (except I would like some wedding pictures), but then the only attendees were the janitor and secretary at the courthouse. lol Those were the days! You wanted to be a millionaire by thirty and have ONE kid. Well you didn't get your way!
The years since then we worked hard and grew to love each other and the Lord. We had three children (God's finest handy work as you call them). God has taken us on some marvelous adventures as well as some times we had to trust completely in Him. You know the ones. Like the time I resigned my job to be a stay-at-home mom. We didn't have two pennies to rub together and only God could put food on the table. Remember what He did? Oh the miracles we've seen.
When it comes to fun this family wrote the book. I can't think of much we haven't done. We are daredevils and outdoor lovers. Our kids would rather spend time together than any other thing on earth. Thank you for making our home a place of joy.
Then came the most recent chapter of our lives. We got Chloe and Chi. The journey was rocky and difficult, but you were there every step of the way. This 'big' family was not originally your idea but you always trust when God speaks to me. Now you have come to love and appreciate every aspect it has added to your life. We are on this journey together through the good and bad, ups and downs, highs and lows, and there's no one I would rather have by my side than you. You are my best friend, my confidante, my encourager, and my love. Thank you for being by my side. I look forward to the next fifty years spending it with you! I Love You! Happy Valentine's Day!

Aww! How sweet! I hope to be married and together with my husband as long as you and your husband have been together. You guys are an inspiration to other couples!
I loved your post! ditto tammy on the little look alike Cade! It is amazing to look at life's journey and just how living in Faith changes everything...and makes it so much better than we could ever dream up on our own!
Lisa, this was so sweet and a joy to read! You are indeed a very lucky and blessed woman!
A belated comment, sorry! That was the best Valentine's post in blogland!!! My life couldn't have been any more different (met DH at 36yo had the BIG wedding, etc.)but the sentiment is right on.
