Yes, we were both thinner then....It doesn't seem like that long ago except that we have crammed a lifetime into those 30 years. Two children, 4 houses, 3 dogs, 2 parakeets, 12 jobs, 2 lay-offs, countless cars and car repairs, 2 hurricanes, 2 baptisms, 3 churches, 3 graduations, 2 weddings, 2 more children who married our children, countless vacations and celebrations, 2 deaths, and now the birth of our granddaughter. Sometimes days seem long at the time, but when you look back on 30 years it seems like a blink of the eye.
If I could go back and do it all over again, would I? Yes, but I wouldn't change much, just a few things...I would try to do a better job of being a wife and mother. We do what we can with the knowledge we have at the time. Thankfully, God forgives us and we forgive each other.
We would not be together today without our mutual faith in Jesus Christ. I don't know how couples stay together when they don't know the Lord. We also have a mutual love for our family and the belief that family comes first. Nothing and no one is more important to us than our family.
Marriage is hard work - is it worth it? Yes, look at the results so far...
