To infinity and beyond <3

Tomorrow my best friend and I will celebrate the end of the 45th year since we said “I Do”…and I am so very grateful for the gift of these years. 

We will most likely celebrate in our yard chairs at a ball diamond, weather permitting, as we have a good portion of our anniversaries. For decades we were cheering one or more of our own three on and now it is the second generation of summer games. 

If the rains hold back, we will wear our Rockies fan ware and toast each other with a bag of popcorn and iced tea from the concession stand. 

To say he has been the rock of this family is an understatement and I know his hard work, dedication to us and his growing faith over the years have only enhanced what was already a pretty terrific husband. 

I am grateful for his endurance, patience, provision, love, encouragement, correction when needed, kindness, generosity and faithfulness. Not to mention his sense of humor at just the right moments that keep me laughing long after the moment has passed. 

We, as a family,  have never doubted for one moment where he places us in his priorities. We rest just under serving the Lord and above anything else that might come along. In all the years he gave 100% to ADM, he somehow managed to delve out the same proportion to all of us. 

So happy anniversary to you, my dear husband and partner and friend.

 I am so grateful for you and consider every day to be another gift from God to one who did not deserve such grace and mercy  <3
