Our Anniversary!

It's our 24th anniversary. Last year, Mike was overseas; this year he is home....but not until 9:45 or 10:00 p.m. ::snort:: I DID drive the kids up to Burger King so we could have dinner with Mike. We had the place to ourselves! ::snort:: We plan to do something together tomorrow.
I could wax eloquent about all that Mike has meant in my life and how much I value our love, marriage, family, and life together, but if you've read my blog long or know me - you know that I passionately love and respect my husband. God picked 'em good....so good, that I regularly pray he will send such men for our daughters. Life is too busy right now for me to write much else.
This year there aren't a lot of fancy gifts - we bought a freezer. ::snort:: Yippee! The biggest gift this year has come through my health challenges. I've seen anew how deeply Mike loves me and how much he desires for us to grow old together....it's actually amazing to me how love and respect continue to grow in a marriage. This is a great plan God had. Sometimes a lot of work - but a great plan nonetheless. ::snort::

Happy Anniversary Mike and DeEtta!
We, too, just celebrated our anniversary on Sun. There was nothing spectacular that we did other than to enjoy being together. Compared to your 24 years we are just babes at 18 years but I loved your comment on how love and respect just grow. How true that is! Congratulations!

Happy Anniversary!!!I hope you enjoy at least another 24 together.

We have 26 years next month and I too am amazed about how God continually blesses and strengthens our marriage. It's quite certain it's nothing WE are doing. {LOL!}
