Seventeen and counting
TBC and I are happy to be celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary today.
Now if you ask me, I will tell you that I am more impressed in the fact that we have managed not to do each other in through the years.
At times he makes me insanely crazy and I am sure that I do the same to him but I can honestly say that I would not have it any other way. This method of lunacy works for us and certainly keeps things interesting.
Yes, dear friends, this truly is a miracle indeed.
Tonight I will lift my glass of wine in joyous celebration. I will pray that I have many more years with this man whom I have the distinct honor to be called his wife, lover, confidant, friend and the mother to our son.




Awwwwwwwwww.... you two are such a beautiful/handsome couple. :o) Congrats on the special day (and the 17 years of days preceding it).

Happy Anniversary - we will be coming up on 30 yrs in September - I can't believe it for lots of reasons -- including that we haven't done each other in too ;)
Hope you had a super day!

Happy Anniversary! God put the two of you together for a reason-and part of that plan might include how you equal out each others sanity. Have a great day!

Insanity adds spark, lunacy adds spice. God just put it together to keep the spark and spice in your lives. May you have many many more. Happy Anniversary! Judah

Congratulations and best wishes for the many more years yet to come. You've got the secret worked out well. I laugh every time I hear someone say with envy that some celeb "has it all", yet they are on their third marriage just in this decade. If those celebs have any sense (doubtful), they are envious of marriages like yours.

Congrats!!! It's a miracle any of us make it. It's only by God's grace and the commitment to not give up no matter what. Marriage isn't easy but it's worth it and a great picture of how God is faithful to us even when we drive Him crazy. :)

Congrats to both of you. I agree with what you said about the lunacy of it all, but some how, it works. DH & I will be celebrating 25 years in a couple months.

Congratulations!!!! I have been married for 29 years and have to agree completely with all you have said.
