Happy Anniversary my love


August 27, 1994
Just 18 years ago....we wed

A beautiful day in August.....at 23, so young and yet by God's grace, I chose well!
Thank God!

We celebrated by going out a day early and headed to our little town of Carmel.  It was very enjoyable, we have not spent time just the two of us downtown.  We ate a meal at Vesuvio and desert at Casanova's.

Love this mirror image....Andrew and I had a morning run together with Bobo riding along!
Later in the afternoon we had our dear friend Joy watch our kids and we headed back downtown for a coffee and chat for a few hours.  Then the evening was dinner celebrating with the kiddos. 
A good weekend of lots of conversation.  I continue to realize how compatible we are in many ways and how much we enjoy each others company.  I also see our differences, which challenges us and how we don't let each other get away with much  We have a growing relationship that is dynamic, exciting, moving, challenging...I am still amazed at how much I learn from my relationship with Andrew and how much I still see areas of growth for us and for me as a wife.
I love being with Andrew.  I feel both so comfortable with him and at the same time, he is still "other".  I have confidence we will weather the storms of life together.  There are times we allow the weeds to grow and it is easy to allow distance to creep in....marriage can survive on "auto pilot" but not thrive! 
I want amazing...I want more and that is good!  It takes time and intention. 
I want to grow as a wife and love him in richer ways!
I love this man and I am blessed indeed!


Two are better than one
