13 Truly Wonderful Years

Today I get the pleasure of celebrating 13 years of marriage to my wonderful husband.  We had the chance to go to breakfast, just the two of us, and have found that we can still hold a conversation.  Although a lot more of what we talk about revolves around people 4 ft and under.  I asked Kyle what the 5 top moments of our marriage are and he then asked me the same question.  It was awesome to see how similar our favorite moments are, but how we each remember things a little differently.  A lot of our favorites stem from trips we have taken, one being our recent cruise to Alaska.  Of course we would put our kids at the very top of greatest moments, but what was really neat was seeing how much we love the people we are becoming because of the grace of God.  Kyle said that when you are newly weds you think you never want it to be any different, you want things to stay just the way you are.  Then you get to look back and realize what a miserable marriage that would have been.  Thank you God for growing and stretching our marriage and developing it into what it is today.  We truly look forward to looking back 13 years from now and seeing what God has done in us, and in our relationship, and praising Him.

Wendy's not the only one blessed in this marriage. Those of you that know us will attest that I'm the one that gets the better end of the bargain!

13 years oh my! Congrats! That's fantastic and what a fun way to spend it-eating out for breakfast-my favorite! Too bad it wasn't at Mother's bistro huh?!

Yah for 13 years! God can only help us continue to grow in our love for eachother as spouses! Thank you Lord for such wonderful husbands that Love Him too! It was fun to see your family all out to dinner on your anniversary! :) Last year on our 6 year Dan was at the highschool winter retreat and Dan's parents were in town to help because Cami was going to be born two days later and they took me and the boys out for dinner for our anniversary to La Hacienda my fav! It was kinda funny! Although we did celebrate the two of us the week before! :)
