This past week we celebrated 30 years of marriage. For reasons I cannot explain, number thirty was more significant than number twenty-five. We’ve known each other for 35 years, which seems like a long time, but in the words of a friend…
You should try 60+
In honor of 10957.3 days here are 30 things about us.
- We love Jesus!
- We love God’s Word.
- We love each other!!
- We became engaged over the phone!
- We hadn’t seen each other in over a year when we became engaged…but there was a lot of letter writing and phone calls…there were no cell phones then.
- We saw each other twice before we were married.
- The three girls who stood next to me during my wedding still stand by me today…yes, this one is about me.!!!
- Our reception was in the church basement with ham sandwiches, homemade mints and cake.
- We didn’t smash the cake in each other’s faces… I know, we’re boring!
