20th Wedding Anniversary


No, it’s not our original cake but we have been married this day for 20 full years now. We have been through a lot and I can honestly say our love for each other has gotten deeper.

Marriage is hard and you have to be committed. You will have to sacrifice for the other person at times.

I thank God for my wife and I could not have made it this far without God and His guidance. Put your trust in God.

A lot sure has changed over the years. When we were first married, all our belongings together could fit in the back of a pickup truck. The last time we moved it took a full size big rig and huge trailer – you know – you see them go down the road all the time.

We started out with one cat that lived 19 ½ years before he died and have since added more cats (most of which has passed on) and a dog.

We also have added a daughter and now have a teenager. Hopefully our daughter will rejoin the human race around 19 to 20 years old.

Like other couples, we only fight about the stupid stuff but join forces on the big important issues.

It breaks my heart when I hear about divorces, especially when children are involved. Thankfully I grew up in a home where my parents stayed married and stayed in love. They have been married for 49 years now.

So hopefully all of you that are not at 20 years will get there, and those beyond with the grace of God will continue for many more years in marriage.
