Today, Clint and I are celebrating 

                            34 years of marriage 

                                               and 36 years together as a couple. 

It seems like yesterday this boy was turned around in his seat in our 11th grade homeroom class smiling and staring at me, the new girl. My friend, also a new girl, looked back and forth from him to me grinning in that "Oh girl! He likes you!" way of hers. He made it kind of hard to listen to Mr. Daughtrey! Our paths had crossed in different ways before, but we had never officially met. We quickly became very best friends to each other. That is when we began, and we are still going strong today! 

God cleaved us to one another so we are one flesh. He has multiplied our love through our seven living and nine with the Lord children. He has given us plenty to do for His kingdom. Today, we give Him thanks while we rest and reflect together! 

Clint and I have sought the Lord and really tried to put Him and His ways first, "and that has made all the difference." He is why we are still together for more than three decades. The glory is all His.

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! 

Psalm 34:8

to GOD be the glory!

Let them praise the LORD for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
Psalms 107:8
