Happy Anniversary!
Today is a very special day for Kimberly and I, in that it is our Fifth wedding anniversary. We have gone to a lot of places and had many adventures in that time, and my heart tells me that they are just beginning. . .I also am glad that each day seems to end better than the last.
Our good friend Duane Cottrell is the minister who conducted our wedding on that cold day at a park in Durham NC. . .his charge to us was to make sure that THAT day was the WORST day of our marriage. He qualified that to say that we should strive to make each day better than the last. I think for the most part, we have succeeded in that.
Our wedding was informal, with little pomp and circumstance. That has been characteristic of our marriage so far. . .it's strength is not in sentimentalism or ceremony, but in the ordinary, simple joy of two people being each other's best friends. . .Kimberly IS indeed my favorite person to be with.
We will spend our day with that same attitude. . .just the simple joy of being together. . .enjoying each other's company and the company of this wonderful family. . .The kids will all go to bed a little early, and we will have a nice quiet dinner with a glass of fine wine at home.
Please think good thoughts for us and prayers and wishes of thanksgiving for this wonderful life that we have together and this wonderful day that is, indeed, better than the last!
