Yesterday was our 10th anniversary. JJ sent me a gorgeous arrangement of white roses even though he's all the way in Montana. Let's just say that he scored some major brownie points! I just can't stop looking at them and they are so fragrant.
We will celebrate when he gets back, which probably means sometime in September. At least it will be cooler then!!!
In honor of our special day, I thought I would share the lyrics to a beautiful song called "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds. I know that our marriage has nothing to do with luck. First and foremost it is a blessing from the Lord. Then it has been a wonderful journey and a lot of work that has been totally worth it. No luck about it. However, the song still communicates so much, I still love it.
And I love you, JJ!
The Luckiest Lyrics
by Ben Folds
I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16

About Me
- Mary
- I am an ex-middle school teacher turned administrative assistant/missionary wannabe. I've got a BIG "Work in Progress" sign plastered to my back, but God's been doing a lot of molding and shaping. I can't wait to see what he's got in store for me. I am also an introvert who likes to play by the rules, married to an extrovert who is somewhat of a rebel. But after 10 years of marriage, I think we're beginning to figure each other out. (At least we've seen the tip of the iceberg!) And I'm looking forward to growing together in the Lord for the next 60!

Beautiful! I hope and pray he is home soon and sooo much richer
It is tough to have these special days when you are apart. You have such a sweet love for him. I hope the time passes quickly for you.
A very special man, indeed. In our family eveyone seemed to have their own thing going all the time, so my Mom used to say we had "moveable feasts". Celebrating anything - like a birthday or anniversary - was more important than WHEN. The day of was a time to reflect, the celebration could happen any time.
Come to think of it, that's what today is... my parent's 40th wedding anniversary.
Happy Anniversary!!! We're nearing our 4th and loving (almost) every minute of it!!! ;-)
Happy belated anniversary Mary. You and JJ are an inspiration to behold.
