25 Years Ago Today....

We said I Do
 If you haven't read our story and you'd like to,
you can find it here. I wrote it last year on our anniversary. 
 We had a rough start, but God has blessed us beyond 
anything we could have imagined.
I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband,
he's put up with me a long time :-)
 I'll love you
"Always and Forever" dear Russ
Love,
Marcia

  9. Happy anniversary! I remember reading your story last year. Beautiful! And I am sure your husband would say that he is a very lucky man! Believe you me, I tell that to my husband all the time. We are in the midst of a dust storm. Schools are officially closed. At times like this, I ask myself why am I in this country? I am used to flooding in New Orleans, but dust is so oppressive. Ugh! Sending all good wishes yoru way, Tammy

  29. I just finished your wedding story. That is such an amazing story about the faithfulness of God. I am so thankful we have a God of the second chances. I am so thankful you shared your story. I hope it does encourage young women out there to never give up.
    God has indeed turned your life around for His glory.
    So wonderful, thank you.
