I have a LOT of thoughts today...

How does one celebrate 25 years together?
 |
| 1992? |
How do you look back and look forward at the same time?

We were SO young.
You were 19...yes, I robbed the cradle. No, I wouldn't have it any other way.
We were so YOUNG.
The stars in our eyes meant we didn't see the risks everyone else tried to alert us to.
 |
| 1996? |
They said we wouldn't last.
Honestly, there were moments I was afraid we wouldn't...
...but, God...

God put us together.
God kept us together.
God provided for us.
God blessed us with an amazing bunch of children.
God taught us, and directed us, and reigned us in.

I think God probably also has looked at us over the years, and shaken His head, and wondered if we'd ever "get it", like many parents do with their hard-headed children.

He has seen us through financial difficulties, and marital strife, and drama, and legal problems, and more moves than I care to count. He has protected us through separations, and accidents, and thousands of miles on questionable roads. He has educated us, sometimes in classrooms, but more often through His Word and the input of wise people He puts in our paths.

On this path, we have loved, and laughed, and cried, and yelled, and had hard times, yes. But we have also had fun, and made amazing memories, and worked together, and grown together, and dreamed together.

25 years is a good start. I look forward to the next 25...I can't wait to see where God takes us and what He has for us!!
