HELLO AND HAPPY 13TH ANNIVERSARY!

I have been waiting until today to start my blog. The reason is I wanted to wait is for a special occasion that was coming up, and that is, today Dave and I are celebrating 13 years of marriage. God gave me a real gift when he put Dave in my life. We have sure been through a lot in that time. We have moved 4 times, he finished school and received his teaching credential, we had 2 beautiful babies, I have changed positions in my job 8 times, and he has taught at 2 high schools. WHEW! We are very grateful that we still have each other as we have also gone through some significant health issues with Dave. He survived a "sudden cardiac death" experience at school in 2005 (thank GOD that the school had defibrulator paddles that revived him) and has gone through heart valve repair surgery. We know how precious our marriage is and there is no one on this earth that I would rather be married to than "My Dave Man". He is a very special husband and father. Today is Monday, so we did not go out, but we did celebrate on Saturday and had a very delicious dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse here in Northwest Arkansas. But, we were home by 8:30, we are "old fogies" I guess after 13 years.
