22 years ago
Deanne and I promised to each other
that we would
And we have!
I can honestly say that it has been both difficult and wonderful! The Lord and our vows have carried us through some difficult times when the feelings just weren’t there. Our relationship is strong because of that, and the future is full of hope!
Here are a few things we have both made progress in through these years:
- We appreciate our differences
- We trust the other person’s judgement
- We listen better
We have been blessed with three awesome children, and many, many good times.
This painting by Jack Vettriano captures where we are today… (except for the servants!)


Awwww. Congratulations!
Congratulations! 22 years is a big deal. Here’s to the next 22…
May God continue to bless your lives.
Thank you for the nice comments and good wishes!
