28 YEARS TODAY...AND COUNTING

June 2012~28 years

On Saturday June 16th , Tommy and I celebrated 28 years of marriage.  We spent the morning at basketball games for our travel teams and then we had dinner at SHO SUSHI in Upland....omg...was it good!  Then we headed to see a movie...it was actually a perfect day....spent how it should be...TOGETHER....

I think back to when we got married in 1984, at 22 years of age....young and eager to start our live together as husband and wife, and start our own family.   We thought we knew it all...we were in love and we had the perfect marriage.

June 16, 1984~Wedding Day

Well, life is not perfect...we have had our fair share of disagreements...but through it all, we are still here....TOGETHER.

Marriage is hard work, its commitment and love and respect for one another, its knowing when to say your sorry or say nothing at all, its the good times and the bad times, its the trails that life throws at you and making it through them, its believing in each other, its supporting each others  hopes and dreams, its helping each others reach those goals, its trust, its faith in GOD...and its never quitting or giving up.  Marriage is hard work but the rewards of your hard work and dedication to your marriage and your spouse...make it all worth it!!!!

Fast forward to 2012, and as I look back over all these years with Tommy (more than half my lifetime) I thank God for the gift of Tommy and all we have been through because it has made us who we are today, proud parents to three amazing children who have blessed lives of their own, wonderful memories and...a man and his wife who never quit when the going got tough, but a man and his wife who still TOGETHER...after all these years.

And I know there are many more years to come.....

My life is complete with the gift of my husband, Tommy.....my partner for life!

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

New International Version (NIV)

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres
