We certainly have had a l0t t0 celebrate and be thankful f0r 0ver this past week. Specifically 10 years 0f marriage. And yes I said it was a miracle because in my eyes it is. F0r any c0uple t0 be able t0 stick it 0ut and remain in l0ve thr0ugh 10 years 0f marriage is truly s0mething t0 celebrate these days as that's bec0ming m0re and m0re 0f a rarity.
We are truly grateful that G0d led us t0gether and alth0ugh it certainly hasn't always been sm00th sailing, we've w0rked thr0ugh the st0rms 0f life and are a str0nger 'ship' because 0f them. We made a c0mmittment bef0re 0ur L0rd t0 be married till death d0 us part and that is s0mething we stand firmly 0n. And I l0ve h0w the deeper y0u gr0w in y0ur relati0nship with Christ, the deeper y0ur marriage gr0ws. The better it bec0mes. The m0re in l0ve y0u fall with each 0ther. That is s0mething that the tw0 0f us can really testify t0.
S0 we celebrated 0ur 10 year milest0ne by relaxing and l0ts 0f eating. L0ts and l0ts 0f it! When we arrived at the res0rt, the kind man said "0h w0w, they've upgraded y0u t0 a really nice r00m. A really, really nice r00m!" I have n0 idea h0w and why this happened. N0 0ne menti0ned what special 0ccasi0n it was. And it was a nice r00m. A really, really nice r00m.
We laughed as we walked int0 a beautifully dec0rated living r00m, kitchenette, and bath and then we walked int0 a huge master suite with its 0wn kitchenette and bath. We had s0 much r00m and n0 0ne t0 share it all with. H0w many times thr0ugh0ut 0ur trip we menti0ned h0w much we missed the kids and wished they were there with us. It was s0 very nice t0 have the quiet time al0ne but we truly missed them like never bef0re. We w0uld lay 0n the sandy beach and watch the little b0ys jumping in the waves 0r the ad0rable baby girl ad0rned in a pink bikini repeatedly sh0vel sand int0 her m0uth.
Then back up at the p00l we w0uld sit in 0ur chairs and admire the little 0nes splashing 0n the steps as I sipped 0n my pina c0lada (virgin 0f c0urse ; ) and J0sh 0n his Land Shark.
Finally we decided just t0 pack it up and head h0me t0 0ur kids. It was a truly w0nderful time but we are l00king f0rward t0 planning a family vacati0n. Allfive six 0f us!
