Those were the words--"I thank God for you"-- on the first flowers, a dozen beautiful red roses, that I received from Steve a little over 9 years ago.Maybe it's because we started a Sunday School class this week on marriage or because our speaker at MOPS this week was on marriage or maybe God is really just reminding us.... we (I hope :) I'm speaking for Steve, too!) are so thankful for our marriage and the gift God gave each of us in the other. Over the past 9 years, we are learning that we may be more different than alike in a lot of ways...which is a good thing... would I want another me to live with!? :)
If we are honest, of course, not every single day is a honeymoon... and for those who know our honeymoon adventure we can now laugh about... I'm glad it's not :)! But seriously, marriage is work. It takes time and energy and commitment and communication! But it's work that pays off and is for a great cause! It's a covenant worth protecting! I'm so thankful for my husband, my best friend.
So here's to all those marriages out there! May you work hard, pray often, and love much!
And Steve..."I thank God for you!"

Geez, I'm all choked up! Praise God for the friendship and love you share! Keep up the good work!
You were so lucky to have such "skilled" matchmakers see the wisdom in introducing you two to each other!
