Celebration
I am sitting here drinking Chocolate, Raspberry Coffee. I love Fridays. Dan is usually home for a while, and then he goes to the church to prepare for Sunday. Did I mention Dan is a Pastor?
I had a hard time getting out of bed today, I woke up with a headache- one of those “You didn’t drink any caffeine yesterday!” headaches.
I should know better… I am a caffeine junky lately.
Another thing about it… I don’t want to give it up ..yet.

Dan and I are planning on doing something to celebrate our anniversary (which was yesterday), in late August or early September.
Until a couple of years ago, we rarely did anything alone to celebrate.
Then I went through some health problems, and my priorities changed a lot.
It was the summer of our 25th anniversary.
I was suddenly made aware of my own fraility as a human being- the fact that I may someday die.
And according to what I was being told- it could be sooner rather than later. Things turned out beautiful, because of faith and prayer.
Dan and I had been planning a wedding vow renewal for our 25th, but with 2 surgeries, and many tests (you name the scan, I probably had it), time was an issue. We worked it in, between surgeries, and planned it in 2 weeks.
Thank God for friends, mine did most of the work.
We ended up having about 80 people there, all who came with very short notice.
The ceremony was beautiful, a good friend was the officient. We had our oldest 2 kids stand up with us. We exchanged NEW wedding bands…we had been planning to on our 25th ever since we got married.
That is when we decided that from now on we will celebrate our marriage every year.
Being happily married is not always easy, it takes work and maintanance. If we take it for granted, it will begin to slip into a zone we don’t want it in.
I appreciate Dan, and the fact that he works just as much, sometimes probably more than, I do at keeping us good.
We are worth celebrating.
