15 years tomorrow!




Tomorrow Kevin and I will have been married for 15 years.

The song I chose for our unity candle lighting time was Just Never Say It Enough by Wayne Watson. I thought the song fit us pretty well at the time. Kev, this song is for you...

If I called you every time that I think of you
The phone would be ringin' all day
I keep thinkin' that these feelings would mellow with time,
But not yet... no way

We've had our share of heartache and trouble
We can look back and laugh at it now
But a mystery keeps haunting me
How you hurt those you love most somehow
A real love expression is long overdue
Hear my confession of my love for you

(Chorus)I just never say it enough
So before it's too late and time's up
You're more than all I dreamed you'd be
An answered prayer... gift of God above
I just never say it enough

I believe God inhabits a human heart
I believe it more now than ever before
I see His reflection in you, in you
And I'm sure, I'm sure
But a real love expression is long overdue
Hear my confession of my love for you
(Chorus)

In our 6 yr dating relationship we'd been through lots of ups and downs and breakups and get back togethers and struggles (lots of which came from the 3.5 yr age difference- no big deal now, but it was when I was 17 and he was 20!)

Now after 15 yrs of marriage I realize the song continues to ring so true. There have been good times and hard times, times where I wasn't sure we were going to get through, but we did and here we are! Here's to many many more years of ups and downs!

Thank you to those who pray for us, who give us their thoughts and advice , who listen to us, who love us, who are examples to us- now and in the past. You are all part of this celebration.

Kevin, I love you. I know I just never say it enough, you are an answer to prayer, a gift from God.

Oh my gosh! 15 years, it hardly seems possible. Wasn't it just yesterday you two used to come over and hang out at our house? And to think L'il Kev was your ring bearer and now he's a married man.

You two have grown into such a beautiful family. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of your history. We love you.
