Our Anniversary Celebration

Thanks to all of you who have sent us congratulations and well wishes. You deserve a congratulations, too! Because many of you have pointed us back to God 1,000 times when we were frustrated. You encouraged our commitment instead of our feelings. So thank you for being a part of our team!

This anniversary had to be one of the most special ever. It was so simple, but it was really fun. Bill had to work - and not just work, but close. That means usually at least 10p.m. in the summer. So I recruited a few family members to help with kids and simply went to hang out at the golf course and watch Bill work. That was really fun - just to see him in his element. There is something about watching a man work.





I had brought a bottle of sparkling cider, and the kitchen crew got it iced down. While Bill was finishing up, they set up candles, glasses, strawberries, and chocolate on the deck. Then they all left, and it was just us. Sigh. The night was perfect. The moon was beautiful. The air was warm. The stars twinkled. We sat there very much in love and very grateful.
