Happy Anniversary

Well, just as Debbie and I had predicted 17 years ago, today is a gorgeous day! We were on a hay ride with a youth group when we discussed that October would be a great month to get married. I told her that we should get married the next year. And long story short, we did! Today it has been 16 years since we stood together at the Methodist Church in Camdenton Missouri. In all these years I can only think of one year that the weather was not perfect! I am so glad that it is holding true this year!

You know it is hard to describe the emotions today. Megan has been home sick for the past two days, today we went to the Dr. to find out it is a virus. So I am keeping busy working from home and keeping her comfortable. Like I said it is hard to describe the emotions, probably really nothing I say would make any sense, I can hardly sort them out. But I can say that I am thankful for all the wonderful e-mails of support I have been getting today.

There are so many people missing Debbie, she meant so much to so many. I so often see a picture of her and think of how lucky I was to have been married to such a wonderful person. I know that someday I will get to be with her again in heaven, and until then she lives in my heart as she lives in so many of yours.

Well go outside, take a deep breath of the fall air, say a prayer of thanks for all the gifts in our lives, and remember that God is truly amazing. He keeps me going and I know He is keeping many of you going as well.

Thank you all,


Andy
