Fourteen Years!

5110 days of life together as husband and wife!

Every one of those days I have grown to love you more.  Each day I thank God for the blessing of you.  Not all the days have been easy, but that's what marriage is about.  Growing and learning together...through the hard times and the easy times.  You encourage our little family to spend time daily growing closer to God...and you make sure we always know that we are a priority to you.  You work hard to provide and yet still walk in the door with a smile on your face and open arms.  You have such a giving and servant heart.  I'm so thankful that our children have you in their lives as a role model and a hero. 

I cannot imagine going through life with anyone but you by my side.  I cherish each and every day that we have together...and I pray that God gives up many, many more years of days together.  I want to grow old with you.  I want to live every day of life to the fullest with you.  I want to fall asleep every night with your arms around me.  I want to hear you say "I love you" every day for the rest of my life.  You are my one and only...my true love!

Today I was reading a note you gave me before we got married.  I have kept it in my Bible.  You are always so good with words.  I know that God has answered the prayer you wrote about...and that he will continue to bless our love each day.

Staci,                                               

You're the only one that can take a hold

of my heart and make me so in love!

Each day that I get to spend with you is

like stealing a piece of Heaven!

May God bless our ever increasing passion

and help us both to grow so close together,

that one day, when we are looking at ourselves

in the mirror, our reflections of mind, body,

and spirit will look as if they are one!

I love you!
