Happy 14th Anniversary

Well, hard to believe it's been 14 years! We actually starting dating 4 years before we got married, so altogether that's 18 years! It doesn't seem like we should be that old - but I think the beginning of our gray hairs and expanding waistlines has proved it.....anywhoo.....



I certainly cannot imagine my life without Jay and what a marriage we have had. We have truly experienced the good, the bad and the ugly. I am so grateful for him in my life and I know there are so many chapters still left to be written to our book. What a novel we have.



I think Jay would agree that we are most thankful for the miracle gifts of Amber and Emma. They have taught us so much and have healed us in places that only children can do. They are their own persons, yet they are exacty replicas of us. God knew how desperately we would need them and not a day goes by that we don't forget that. We are so blessed.



Below are the lyrics to a song I discovered yesterday. I immediately thought of me and Jay and how we are truly starting over in a sense. Time to move on and embrace what God has for us. We just can't dwell on the past forever. It's part of who we are, but it isn't how the rest of our lives will be. That's the miracle of God's love. He always has better things in store - even for marriages and families.



I Won't Look Back by Need to Breathe



Love, love isn't always

Love, the way that we mean

Just like you are right now is all, all that I need



Let's start over, don't be afraid 'cause I won't keep track

Let's climb to the top

If you won't look down, I won't look back



Love, love isn't always

Love, the kind that you hold

I will be here waiting if you, you can let go.



Let's start over, don't be afraid 'cause I won't keep track

Let's climb to the top

If you won't look down, I won't look back



Jay - I love you sweetheart.

Forever yours,

Clips

Happy Anniversary! Hope you have a great day. If I were there, I would keep the girls so you two could go out! Congratulations.
