Celebrating 20 Years

Robbie & I celebrated 20 years of marriage on July 26. It’s so hard to believe it’s been that long. We were just babies when we married, and we’ve experienced many joys and pains over these years. It’s been a wonderful journey so far – love the life we’ve made together.

To celebrate, we traveled to San Francisco and the Napa Valley in October. It was so beautiful and we had so much fun! I’ve posted ~~some~~ many pics: (to view larger images, click on first one and view one at a time).

Last Project of the Year

After the Christmas tree came down, I was in the rearranging mood. My living room isn’t a very cooperative shape, so I had to be creative. I did, however, find a “new” coffee table at a local second had store. A little paint, and it’s reborn! I spray painted the wood and did the glass with a technique that makes it look like the old, mottled, mercury glass. You can see how to do that here. I’m pretty pleased.

About three years ago I painted over a huge picture I’d had for some time. I used chalkboard paint and wrote on it one of my favorite quotes. This weekend it got a new coat of paint, but I had to keep the great quote, “There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.” ~Jane Austen

But around here, we celebrate that everyday…

Made this for lunch the other day. So good & so easy when you use prepared pesto and frozen peas. Yum!

New Camera

Just got a new Canon T3. Love it – overwhelmed with learning how to take good pictures. I’ve been taking practice shots around the house. Aperature, Shutter Speed, ISO – it’s all Greek to me.

Grateful

Three years ago this morning I was following a helicopter carrying my husband to The Med in Memphis. I was told he might not even make the flight there. Details are archived here (starting with August 2008). I am so grateful for God’s mercy in healing him. The road was long, but He’s been with us every step. I’m so thankful to still have my best friend with me today.

In the ICU a few days after surgery.

7-26-91: Twenty years. Amen.
