15 Years

It's hard to believe 15 years have passed since we said I will. The photo above is one of my favorites from that day. Daddy's Grandpa Bill captured it. It gives a glimpse of how we sometimes are -- silly, awkward and just plain weird (as Vanessa would say.) I'm so very thankful for the blessing of love, commitment and friendship.

On Sunday we will have been together 21 years. That number is a little more scary in that we're getting that old. :-)

And a depressing fact our buddy Paul shared that shows how the times have changed in 15 years: Gas averaged $1.17 per gallon in 1999 (which is equivalent to about $1.53 in 2010.)

Song of Solomon 8:6
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
