What We Are Here For. . .: 13 Years Ago Today. . .

I find it wild to think that 13 years ago today I was preparing to marry my soul mate. It has been such a wonderful 13 years. Sometimes it seems so much longer, because I was just 16 when my sister introduced me to Tim & we started dating. We've been together ever since. I thank God for Tim. He is a wonderful husband & dad. In fact he has taken the boys on a 6 day father/son camping trip. Happy Anniversary, I love you Tim.
Here we are 13 years ago. . .
