Celebrating 11 Years

Matthew and Emily 1993



On our Wedding Day October 6, 1997



At the Cowboys game October, 2007


Eleven years ago today, Matthew and I made a decision to commit our lives together. The exact circumstances surrounding that decision were not perfect, or planned, but thank the Lord they happened. It was about 15 years ago when we first met, and first started dating, and here we are now, with 3 children, a home, and family and friends surrounding us. Now I know that Matthew and I will both admit that those years are far from perfect, but I also know that we agree that the hardest times are the ones that brought us closer to each other, and to the Lord. Thank you God, for the wonderful man that I call my husband. Thank you Lord for the talents and determination that you have blessed him with, without which we would not have the life we do now. Thank you Lord, for the stubbornness that you gave him, it is both a blessing and a curse. Thank you Lord that you have given us 11 years of marriage together, I don't know that anyone thought it would last, and there have been times that even I had my doubts. At the end of the day, I know that Matthew will go to bat for me every single time, right or wrong. I love you, Matthew! Happy Anniversary!
