Our Anniversary...54 years!

Today is a special day for me and my hubby. 54 years ago we were married in a candlelight ceremony at the First Baptist Church in Temperance...my home town...We lived for about 11 months in a rented apartment and then moved to our new house about 6 weeks before our first child...Pam...was born on Sept. 17th. We still live in the same house after 53 years...we raised 5 children here and have had a wonderful journey together, many happy times and of course some times not as happy but the good memories definitely are in the majority!! The Lord has richly blessed us and we are continually thankful to Him for all He has done and love Him so much! One of the many blessings we have....Family...our 5 children and their spouses...our 17 grandchildren and our 4 great grandchildren...our family means everything to us...

We have celebrated all week..Monday we went to the movies and seen The Help and really enjoyed it, then we went out for supper to P F Changs China Restaurant..which was yummy...Tuesday we went to our favorite seafood restaurant...The Seafood...(unique name isn't it??) :) This morning I went to Bible study and returned home to find a beautiful bouquet of red roses!! (I love flowers!!) Thanks honey!!

This afternoon we are going to a memorial service for a newborn baby girl of a precious young couple at the south campus of our church...she was born on the 30th of August but lived just 4 days before going to be with Jesus. Please pray for the Bailey family if you think of it the next few days...

Then later tonight we will finish our celebrating with supper at Olive Garden...Later this month we are planning a trip to the upper peninsula of Michigan and possibly a visit to our granddaughter on Mackinac Island.

It's been an awesome journey and just wanted to share a little of it here with all of you...
