36 and three more

*Thirty-six* years ago this week, Hurricane Dora had passed through our town delaying one bridesmaid. We were very young as we walked down the aisle later that day. Strangely, we don't feel much older today. Back then and still today, our marriage is built on the solid Rock of our Heavenly Father who in His amazingly creative way, believed the two of us together was a good idea. Out of that solid Rock has flowed a steadfast love and a life we would never have imagined, along with two wonderful boys and a host of family and friends.

There is nothing better to do today than recognize and be thankful for Who brought us together. 

And be thankful for each other, for together, as we collect life experiences, we grow closer and closer. What a treasure, never to be taken for granted!

*I wrote this in August 07, so we are now at 39 grace-filled years. We met my first year of college, so we've shared friends and experiences since we were both 18. When we hear an "oldie" on the radio, we just look at each other and know we're remembering the same stuff! 

A gift we're grateful for the older we get.
