those are the best stories! and that you both are so at ease with each other - - I hope your kids read these notes - --- you have set a great example for all kids as they mature (the verb mature - not the noun... that is not as much fun.

Happy 30th anniversary you two lovebirds! I've been married almost 40 years and I so envy your marriage and so appreciate that you let all of us in to be a part of it! The fact that God is a huge part of your marriage is what I think that I envy the most. My husband & I are both "believers" but not practicing, if that makes sense and at this age and stage of our marriage I wish we were. After being raised without going to church, in his late teens he joined the Baptist Church & actually went to the Riverside Baptist College in California but after finding a girlfriend there, getting married & then divorced, due to her messing around, he became disillusioned with organized religion & just strayed away from it. We're here together and as I imagine that you both know, sometimes it's a struggle, that's where I'm at now but I'm forcing myself to continue to make it work because, well, that's what you do, right? Marriage is fun, beautiful, but sometimes it's hard and you have to work at it. Sadly, a lot of today's generation doesn't get that, once the fun stops, they take the "easy" way out and leave. I'm here for the duration and it's couples like you that I enjoy following to remind me that I can get back to that with my husband, I know that I can and will. Thank you again for the many, many years of laughs, honesty, struggles & sharing of your love for God and each other. Here's to another wonderful 30 years and following along with you as you continue to grow together in your faith and each other.

OMG! Melissa, I miss your clever phraseology. Happy Anniversary❣️

Please say Hi to David, too.

And, if you wish to get a rise outta him, tell him that I recalled you being a “Salty Lass!”

And, if he doesn’t respond. Volunteer that I sucked on your fingers after we shared an extra large box of buttery popcorn during High School❣️🌷🌷🌷
