I'm thankful for today, because it's my anniversary. 15 years married to JR, who has loved me unconditionally, been an example and a mentor to me, and has always demonstrated grace toward me and our marriage.
And my family. How can I be proud and humbled at the same time? And did I mention that the most incredible news of all is that in addition to the four smartest and most adorable grandkids that we have, we are about to have three more!!! That's right, each of our girls, Meghan, Katie and Amelia, are having babies! One is due in December, one is due in February, and the other is due in March! I still can't quite get my head around that! Did I mention...three more grandbabies!!!!!
The blessings of friendship...camping friends, blog friends, church friends, neighbor friends, and the friends that we know would drop anything when we need them. There are the friends that know every detail of our lives and without hesitation love us more because of our mess-ups.
And to think I get to spend my time here on Earth with all of these people, and live comfortably in a little bungalow, and make and do the things I love to do. That's not a bad way to live.
Congratulations on your anniversary!
ReplyDeleteFamily and friends are truly the greatest blessings that we have.

ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful to hear on all fronts. Congrats to you both!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary. What incredible news about your grandbabies, how exciting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Your cup overflows with joy!!!! How exciting! And Happy Anniversary! BTW, when I was growing up, my family camped in a little Scotty like yours. It had a turquoise stripe across the top of it. We spent many happy vacations in it. I can't wait to see what you do with yours!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a great achievement, 15 years of marriage! And what kind words for your husband. I can hear what I know to be true: gratitude is one of the keys of happiness . . . (I can't seem to post under my google account, I keep getting an error, but did want to acknowledge that I stopped by.)Beth

ReplyDeleteHandsome couple! Congrats to you both!
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of those cousins growing up together. Family is a wonderful thing to have.
Happy Anniversary! I happened on your blog today. I'm not sure of the route I took, but I'm a sucker for a sewing blog. I find so much inspiration. Yours is really impressive and I thought I should let you know. I looked through your Flickr pics. WOW! Amazing! It always fun to see completed projects and you have so many. And they are all so nice. I'll remeber to stop back and thanks for the inspiration to get busy and sew for myself. BTW, judging from the weather in some of the photos, I'm guessing we live in the same part of the world.
ReplyDeleteWe're having our first grandbaby, also in March. My poor girl, though, is having a rough pregnancy. Three! I can imagine those cousins all together for years to come.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both! It was our 11th anniversary yesterday, obviously a good time of the year to get married ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso big congrats on the expected arrivals! I see some serious baby goodies sewing in your future! xx
