26 Years And Counting....

Yesterday Tim and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary. 

 I don't know where the time has gone but somehow it has flown by. 

In our years together we have done a lot of things.  But among our biggest and best accomplishments are that we raised 6 great kids and have given them a forever family.

Of the temples we have been to this is my favorite, 
the Washington D.C. Temple,
because it is where we were married. That beautiful June day in 1985 was the beginning of our forever story.

And I love that I still think of us just like this.  The years may show on our faces but our hearts are unchanged. They are as full of love, hope and looking toward the future as the day we were married. 

Happy Anniversary, Tim.  I love you.  Here's to another 26.  :) 

25 Years in the Making...

Twenty five years ago today Tim and I were married in the Washington, DC Temple in Kensington, Maryland.

While I am down and out after having surgery a few days ago, I wanted to be sure not to miss our day ~ the celebration of the start of our life and love.

Happy 25th Annivesary, Tim! (and happy Father's Day too!)

In case there is any doubt, I would do it all over again. I am so grateful that we have been able to turn to each other and not on each other through our challenges.

You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you with all of my heart. I. really. do. :)

*A funny story that happened early in our married life was when Tim decided he would "catch up" his long neglected journal. He began to write, hitting the highlights of what had gone on since he had last recorded anything. One thing that he wrote was something like, "Loretta and I got married July 20, 1985." BWHAHAHAHAHAHA! He was only a month off! :)

This year since I am not much up to celebrating our anniversary on JUNE 20th, I suggested we wait and celebrate on July 20th. :) Tim happily agreed telling me, "See, that July 20th date came in handy for something!"
