Celebrating...

Our anniversary is the 19th, but we are celebrating it tonight with friends who have their anniversary close to ours. We will be married 13 years. Over the last 6 years we have really grown in our marriage. We've had our good times and bad, sickness and health, richer or poorer...But, we've grown stronger through it all.




I met my husband when he was 16 and I was 18. We worked at the movie theater together and found out that we went to the same high school. I had prayed for a kind, gentleman that was unlike the other boys I had dated. They were too forward and after one thing. ;) The next day I met Ryan. I would always be cold at the theater and my hands would be like ice. He would take my hands in his and warm them up. *aw* He says he fell in love with my voice before he even saw my face. I had my back turned to him when coworkers introduced us and I was talking at the time. We married when he was 19 and I was 20. October 19, 1996. :)

We have such a deep connection with each other. That can be hard at times. Because when you don't have that connection due to work, sickness, life in general you really feel it. I love him so much. We have been through a lot together. Seen a lot of sorrow, experienced a lot of joy, blessed with a wonderful son, and grown in the Lord together.



Tonight will be extra special because we get to celebrate with good friends. One of which has become like a dad to us. Very special. So glad God has brought them into our lives.

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! Make the best of it. :)
