Today is my anniversary, a very happy day.  I can’t believe the speed at which 14 years have flown by.  I remember being 22 and thinking that I was destined to be an “old maid”!  Sure funny to think about now especially since Tanner is almost 20!  The Lord was so precious to me and really began the courtship for me in my heart before I even met Brian.  The Lord was sweet to give me little gifts along the way to remind me that if I would obey Him, He would give me the desires of my heart.  I even somehow knew through His mercy that my husband would have a son.  Tanner was 5 when Brian and I met and I fell in love with both of them.  Since that time, the Lord gave us Jake (12) and Madi (10) and tons of laughter and memories.

I thought it might be fun to share a few things that I love about my man.
10)  He is hilarious and loves to make me laugh.
9)  He throws his socks on the ground…right next to the hamper. 🙂
8)  He has loved and accepted me, even with all my ugly and heavy baggage.
7)  He is an outdoors man.  He loves to hunt and fish.  He feels most alive in brisk, early mountain mornings.
6)  I can trust him completely.
5)  He is always on my side.
4)  He works hard and is the best provider for our family.
3)  He prays for me and blesses me in the ministry the Lord has called me to.
2)  He is the best dad in the world.  I love to watch him love my kids.
1)  He is my best friend and he “gets” me.

I pray that the Lord will give you the desires of your heart today.  His plans are always better than ours!
