Happy Anniversary Time! ...


Well, isn't that an exciting picture? You wouldn't know it from the outside, but it's very special to me, it's a scrapbook that Jon made for me about 12 years ago. It's actually the only scrapbook I own. And as a little treat for you, I wanted to give you a little peek at what's inside.

But first, let me tell you how I got it. Many years ago, 12 years in fact, a group of our friends were having a valentines dinner, and a few days before the party, the guys got together and secretly planned a night out and stayed up late making these books for us girls. Mine contains a great collection of photo's, valentines cards, love notes & such that I had collected over the years. It was quite a surprise and makes me happy to flip through it's pages.

It's great to see how we've changed and grown together. You can only tell so much from the pictures, but I can tell you that the biggest changes were from the inside out. We've been on quite a journey of opening our minds and hearts to calling, passions and convictions. It's not always been easy, but hey, who's life is? It's definitely been exciting, challenging and I've traveled in directions I never imagined I'd go. But that's the excitement, not knowing how the the story ends.

So here's your peek. Some of these shots are cool, and some silly ... but it's us, and I wouldn't trade "us" for anything in the world. Happy 21 years together Jon!











One more thing, what would my blog be without a little cheezy goodness??? Hope you enjoy the amazing vocals - Don't forget to turn up the volume!

21 years! Wow!! I guess I'm not surprised really. You two have always been a shining example of what love looks like. I'm really glad I had the opportunity to meet you Sophia and we shared 'some' small portion of life together. And I'm really glad technology has given me another opportunity to glimpse into the perfection you and Jon have created for yourselves. Well done and congratulations!
