Merry Christmas from the manger!

Can you believe it?

Today Marshall and I celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary!  And to be honest...it tickles my soul just to be able to say that!  God has blessed me with the most wonderful man, and I am so grateful to Marshall for being the husband I have always imagined.  He is so very good to me, and I love him greatly for it.  What can I say...he truly is my best friend.  Our marriage has changed and matured so much over the years.  I respect Marshall for the man that he is, and for all that he has been through.  I look forward to the years to come, and hope that the next 10 are as fun and full as the first 10 have been. Here are a few picture memories from that day!

At a recent funeral I saw on old college friend and when she saw Marshall and I she said..."so, you guys are still together huh?!"  We all just laughed!  I just LOVE her honesty!  With the circumstances as they were when we got married, I think plenty of people thought we might not make it.  But, praise the Lord, so far we have.  God is good and He has really taken care of us and our marriage over the last 10 years.  Marshall and I made a commitment to each other at the altar that day that we take very seriously.  Early on in our marriage we committed to each other to never talk or use the word "divorce".  For us it simply is not an option.  We never threaten it in an arguement, or throw that term around when we are angry.  We respect each other, and the decision we made to be ONE...forever.
