Do you know what today is?

It's our anniversary!

Today we celebrate our 11 years of wedded bliss. (Pausing for the laughter of all married couples worldwide) Like anything worth doing, marriage is alot of work. The notion that "all we need is love" goes out the window when true adversity arises. It takes no small share of trust and communication to make a marriage succeed. And don't forget, if you leave out the author of marriage, the tale can't possibly be written properly.

I love Les in a way that I have loved no other. The chords of love that bind us are strong. But without working on all the other aspects, our marriage would wither away. So like a tender vine, we must care for it daily in order for it to thrive. This unfortunately was not always my attitude. Along the way we've encountered many setbacks and stumbling blocks. Our marriage has been tested on every front. Some battles were lost, but we've kept fighting none the less, and our marriage is stronger for it.

We thank all of those who have loved, supported and prayed for us through the years. We couldn't have made it without you. So, DON'T QUIT NOW! And hopefully 11 years from now, we'll still be thanking you.
