25 Years!!!!
Yes, it's true...This week was our 25th Anniversary.
Our celebration actually began last Sat. when our small group threw us a surprise party at Jeff and Mary's house...our friends pictured above. Krista and Mary plotted and schemed behind our backs and really got us good. We just didn't expect it and were so blessed by it...
Then on the day itself Mike took me to see Indiana Jones. We enjoyed it. Last nite Jeff and Mary joined us at a Moroccan restaurant here in town. Everything was just right...well, the dinner was tasty...It was just kind of funny cuz at this expensive restaurant was also hosting a Women's Club dinner and seated them right in the center of the restaurant....with the microphone going and everything...:) They don't really have separate rooms here for big groups, I guess. but they could have mentioned it when we made the reservations.....hmmm...
Anyway, Mike and I are blessed to have these 25 years together. We never dreamed we would be celebrating number 25 in the Middle East. Life is full of surprises....It has been bitter sweet as well for me. I can't count how many times I've thought of my folks this week. I remember their 25th in Bolivia, and how my mom never, ever forgot to send us an anniversary card For our Daughter and "Son"... and again wishing I could just talk to them on the phone again. But I hear her voice and daddy's too....Honey. we're so proud of you both. I can just hear them.
