Today marks the 6th year since the day I will never forget.
On July 28, 2007, I became a Mrs.
Married to my best friend, the one who God has blessed me tremendously with and who daily shows me what it means to love his bride the way Christ loves the church.
I am amazed that my heart loves Frog Prince more today than it did on our wedding day because at that time I didn’t think it was possible.
But, 6 years of marriage brings more opportunities for love to grow.
More opportunities to share each other’s tears, laughs, prayers and hopes.
More opportunities to love each other through the challenges, to anticipate the joy of things ahead and to seek God’s wisdom rather than our own ways.
But, one thing is for sure, this man of God is my other half, and there is no one I’d want to do life with but him.
To celebrate, Frog Prince made me breakfast before church, had lunch with some people from church and then went for a walk at a local park.
The weather was stunning and we had a wonderful time walking and talking about where we were last year, where we are today, and what we believe God is calling us towards in the new year.
For dinner, we celebrate by re-creating our wedding dinner! We have it just once a year, and it’s always a treat.
Homemade pasta, alfredo with chicken, bread sticks and delicious vanilla cake filled with lemon curd and frosted with vanilla whipped cream. Yum.

Thanks, Miz Helen! You have certainly been a part of, what, at least the last 4 years?! Perhaps longer. That's one of the things I appreciate about blogging so much, is all the great relationships. Thanks for your blessings.
DeleteHappy Anniversary! Such pretty wedding photos. I love that y'all recreate your wedding dinner once a year...so sweet!
