Celebrating my 15th Wedding Anniversary!



15 years ago, Donnie and I "tied the knot"

It was a very hot July afternoon
(what was I thinking)

It was about a year after Justin (our oldest) was born...
(we didn't want to be married just because I was pregnant)

our family and friends braved the heat and joined us at our simple ceremony


Even though it was about 100*...
we still enjoyed our time :)


15 years later, my husband never ceases to surprise me

No.... I didn't get 
a new car
a new house
nor a bigger diamond
that would have been nice too...maybe next year...ha ha :)
but.....Nope


My darling honey blind folded me and took me out for an ice-cream
yep...still blind folded

I stayed in the van...I don't like stuff like this....
you should have seen me.
I played along with him though
I didn't know where he was taking me


After I felt like I just got off space mountain,

trying to figure out where on God's green earth we were headed to....

I actually guessed...
The duck pond

The duck pond is rather special.

This is the place where he and I would walk for hours 
after having our ice-cream....well actually it was TCBY frozen yogurt
(it was closed down so the gas station ice-cream did the trick)

This is the place where we would
talk about our future and our children we would someday have


I actually had my own plans to surprise him
He beat me to it...
:)


And since it was our "Crystal" anniversary 
(15 years is the crystal anniversary)

He couldn't afford to buy me crystal
so.....Krystal burgers did the job...

I will always remember this day :)






This all happened on July 1st so I am way behind on playing catch up with my blogging. 

In a few days I will share how we spent out 4th of July....


Here is a sneak peek

A belated Happy Anniversary to you two love-birds! You barely look a day older than when you "tied the knot!" I'm so happy you had such a memorable day!

Awwe, how beautiful! :D And the music added just the perfect touch.

Last night dh and I celebrated our 9 years wedding anniversary but we didn't have much money. He came home from work with a bouquet of red roses and a card. I was waiting for him ready to gift him with a Bellydance. ;)

Thank you for your comment at my blog. Love, Rosemi

How fun for you. And what young "babies" you both must be. We are working on 29 years this year. Yikes, I must be old.

Blessings,

Ahhh, so sweet! I loved this story! We just had our "crystal" anniversary too.

My oldest son---The Teenage Years Just Around the Corner

This is Justin my 12 yr old. It is unimaginable to think I was holding this little (not so little anymore) bundle in my arms 12 yrs ago. Time seems to fly when you have children. They grow up right before your eyes and before you know it, they have left the nest. Justin is the clown of the family. Takes after his daddy 100%. I couldn't find a serious picture other than the one with the blue background. The one of him jumping in the fish mouth is alot like his personality. There is a soft side to this young man. He loves his brothers and sisters. Anytime he gets a chance, he wants to play and entertain the whole bunch. He is not the type to hide in his room, so his brothers and sisters don't bother him. He loves quality time with any one who will spend time with him. He loves to hang out and have a good time. The teenage years are around the corner for Justin. He will turn 13 in June. Wow! The world says "Look out for those teenage years." But I say "Bring them ...

My Friday Friends...

Me with  Faye and Lena   For the past few months on Friday afternoons,  I have been meeting up with two fantastic ladies.   These women have touched my heart in so many ways I can't even explain.  Both of them are women who love the Lord and hunger for for more of Him in their lives. Me, being the youngest of the three, have gained so much wisdom from them.  Faye and Lena The older of us three is like a mother figure to me,  her name is Faye.   She is an amazing woman who has so much wisdom to offer.   I have bonded with her closely and am so thankful for God bringing her into my life.  She has a blog... so if you want to check her out....go on over to visit her here . Then there's my sweet friend Lena... You know she's moving next week???  I am a bit sad this week because her move.   I don't know what I'll do without Lena checking up on me.  She is an amazing woman who is probably one ...

"Where is my picture, mommy"

This is Shiloh, my 4 yr old. He was wondering why I haven't posted his picture. I was waiting to get my camera back from my friend. I actually forgot it at her house. We went to butcher a few roosters a few days back and I took great (and gross) pictures. I will post those soon. But for now I have this one of Shiloh. He said he wanted this one because he is running. He is such a joy in my and Donnie's life. He makes us laugh so much. My Shiloh is our second son and we are so blessed to have him in our family. Just to think that if we had decided not to have more children after the third, then we wouldn't have this gorgeous boy, who loves God with all his heart. The other day when we were at my friend Jennifer's farm, she told me that Shiloh had left an impression in her father in law. Basically, Shiloh came up to him and asked him if he knew Jesus and if he went to church. Wow, it is true that the praises come forth from babes. Maybe this is why Jesus says to be as litt...
