10 Years!!

10 years ago today, I said , "I Do". What a great and wild ride these last 10 years have been, I can't imagine living the adventure with anyone else but my Hero by my side. I am so grateful for such a wonderful man....and I still gladly say, "I Do".

Joy, Happy 10th Anniversary to you and Dave! Congratulations dear sister!!! What a godly example you two are, and a blessing to so many. May the next 10 years be even more wonderful, blessed, purposeful, joyful and fruitful than the last!!!

Happy 10th!!! We celebrate our 10th in November :) I think it is so amazing how God bonds you together and you can love your spouse more and more with each passing year...I think every year "I love this man so much I don't think I could LOVE him anymore." But next year comes and yet I love him even deeper.....what a blessing is it to share life's "ALL" moments with the helpmate the Lord has given just to us.....

Katie said...

Happy 10th Anniversary! In just a few weeks, my hubby and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary as well! Thanks for you sweet encouragement through your blog and the ministry you and your hubby do for our great Lord!

Blessings,
Katie

Loni said...

Happy 10th Anniversary! Thank you for continually sharing the blessing of your marriage with us. You and your example have been inspiration to so many people.

Question: Why did you get married on a Friday? I know this because our 10th anniversary was on the 10th. :)
