17 Years!

Today is our 17th Wedding Anniversary!  Seventeen years ago today we said I do on a beautiful August day!  We took our honeymoon in northern Michigan.  Since then it has been a special place in my heart.  (I'd never even been their before!)  Our family just got back yesterday from camping in the northern lower peninsula and the middle section of the upper peninsula.  We camped with some dear friends that we've known since our weddings.  My husband sang in an acapella men's group in college and met the groom at our wedding and then two weeks later we both met the bride at their wedding.  We've been friends ever since. They took their honeymoon up north, too!  So it was very fitting that we spent our vacation with them up in God's country. It's really beautiful there!  If you've never been, you should!

Here's to 17 years of marriage with ups and downs, tears of happiness and tears of sorrow, seven (soon to be eight) wonderful blessings and a whole bunch of wonderful memories.  I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us in the future! 

Happy Anniversary Honey!
