Our Anniversary

On Thursday Mark and I celebrated 27 years of marriage! My goodness, where has the time gone? We reminisced and laughed about some of our earlier days together, we were so young (the early days-the disastrous puppy stay in our car overnight on our third night of married life, running from several tornadoes in Dumas our first week of marriage, his first paycheck with Mobil being late-eating the discovered Spam left in the camper from previous Northcutt trips and our scrapping and saving for a meal, (which included searching for lost coins in the car seats) at McDonald's only to witness Mark dropping our entire meal on the floor-and that was just the first month!!) We knew so little about what being married for 27 years would look like but we both agreed that God was so good to put us together and we are so thankful that we embarked on our life journey as one. We are both still happy with the choice we made all those years ago. The choice to love each other no matter what comes our way, realizing that we made a covenant before a holy God to each other. How blessed I've been to have a Godly husband to lead and guide me over almost three decades, to love me sacrificially day in and day out, to lean on through some of the most unimaginable roughest times, and a most wise father to our children. I love you, Marko!

I've included a couple of pictures from Esso Thailand's latest shareholder report of Mark. He had to have a make-up person before the shoot and he was totally grossed out thinking about the lipstick dispenser and wondering how many lips it had touched prior to his. It's a weird thing for your husband to come home with a full face of make-up on, that's for sure!!
