Celebrating 10 Years!!!

It is our 10th anniversary today!!! We had our first date exactly 11 years ago on a Friday night. We were married exactly one year later on January 16, 1999 -- 10 years ago!

It seems like forever ago & just like yesterday.
Our love for each other has grown.
It has not been all peaches & cream... We have had some rough patches... (WHO DOESN'T!)
But the LORD has brought us through!
(Lord, we praise You for being so faithful and keeping us and protecting us!!! You alone have brought us to this point. Your love has sustained us. Thank You for Your amazing love that flows through us to each other.)

This is an "Ebenezer" moment... Like from the hymn Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing "Here I raise my Ebenezer; Here by Thy great help I’ve come!".... Like 1 Samuel 7:12 "Then Samuel [Gen 35:14; Josh 4:9; 24:26] took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and named it [I.e. The stone of help] Ebenezer, saying, 'Thus far the LORD has helped us.'"

What a 10 years this has been & I know God has good plans for us during the next 10 years! What an adventure!

I LOVE MY WONDERFUL, AMAZING, SEXY, HARDWORKING MAN! YOU ARE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER! YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND! YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! I love the way you love me. (I know those are words in a song, but I mean them from the bottom of my heart. You know they are true.) You truly love me, just as I truly love you, and you know how to show it! Thank you for not only telling me all the time, but SHOWING it!!! You know how to put a smile on my face when I feel like frowning. You know how to cheer me up. I love it when you are giddy with excitement. I love singing with you and sharing music together. I love dancing with you. I love watching God working in your heart, my reader :-) I love laughing with you. I love BEING with you, even when you are in your "nothing" box :-) I love living life with you. You light up my life. I know this is going to sound random, but thank you for taking me to that book sale a while back. That meant SO much to me! Thank you for all the little things you do to help out the ShuTeam, even the stuff I don't notice or appreciate like I should. Thank you for always extending me grace, my love.
Forever and always,
Shubaby, Precious, Sweet Peach, and J (Only some of my special names, I know, but I'll spare the readers the rest & we'll just leave them between us :-)
