9 yrs with my very best friend!

Today, Chris and I celebrate 9 beautiful years of marriage. I honestly cannot imagine a more perfect union between two people than the one we have. It's just that God knew exactly who I needed and brought him to me. I will be forever grateful.


To some, 9 years of marriage may not seem like a very long time, but considering I am 28 years old....9 years is almost a third of my lifetime! :) He truly is my *very* best friend and I can't imagine my life without him.

When we got married, I was 19 and so nervous. Chris was 21 and I know he was so nervous too! Here you are...pledging your life and very being to another person...in front of God and family and friends! But I knew *he* was the one for me...I knew from the very first time I kissed him....and I actually told him that right then! Now...if there is something to scare a guy off...it's to tell him that you know you will marry him someday right after your first kiss!!! But he knew it too...and there was just such a sense of peace and belonging...and that has just grown over the years!

He makes my heart go *pitter-patter* and each day I continually strive to please him. Although, thankfully, it's not something I have to strive too hard for...he is so loving and understanding. Even when I think something I have done it not "good enough"...he thinks it is great. When I worry over something...he is there to give me peace. God is so amazing and wonderful. I could never thank Him enough for putting such a wonderful mate in my life!


I wish you each were here....to talk with Chris. Oh what a personality he has! The pictures don't give a true account of who Chris really is. He has a wonderful laugh...he has an awesome sense of humor and such a kind heart. He is such a hard worker and good provider for our family. I am blessed, truly blessed. As I hear him breathing as he sleeps behind me right now...I smile. A smile of thanksgiving, peace and joy.

And before I go....I want to add....if you are here visiting and your marriage has seen more bad days than good...or if your marriage has ended and your heart is broken...the ultimate Healer can make each day good again. He can do ALL things and loves you...He cares about you and the pain you are going through.
Marriages are under attack...and it breaks my heart. Seeing those around me heading for divorce or hurting literally makes me cry. I have a very "fix it" type of attitude about me. I just want to fix it all. Unfortunately...I have no power to do so....but I can and *do* pray....so if you need prayer...please email me (my email is on the left sidebar).
I believe God is saddened at each divorce that happens. (I know sometimes it just can't be helped due to certain circumstances) But isn't it wonderful to know that He still loves you and wants to heal your heart? Just keep your eyes on Him and He will be the light to your path!
