Silver Anniversary

Today David and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. That's a pretty big number in this day and time.

David has shown me a lot about life in the years we've been together. He is a simple man who sees life as it is. He faces hardship with great courage and strength. He loves country life. He loves gardening and working at our farm. He sees the value in people and loves to visit with the elderly because they teach him so much. He loves God, he loves me and he loves his children. He is a good man and I'm thankful for all we've been through together.

I didn't have a wedding photographer, but here are a couple of the shots I do have:

Today is also my little brother, Kevin's birthday. He is number 10 of 11. Here are some of my favorite pictures of Kevin. He was such a cute boy!!

This was the first Christmas in our house in Arkansas. I don't know if you can see my brother, Darren, in the background with a coat on in the house!

I don't think ya'll look much older either. What is your secret to staying so young looking? :-)
I really liked your wedding dress - you looked so pretty!

Happy 25th Jacquie!! Steve and I are going on 23 years this August! It's something to be proud of, I think, in this day and age to stay together and make it work through the years!

You still look amazing by the way!!
Congratulations! :)
