In honor of 8 years of marital bliss, we're going to spend a normal day in service of the church, which for Matt means Morning Prayer in 5 minutes, followed by being available in the office for people who need him, a pastoral visit, a business meeting, lunch at 1pm of spinach salad with vinaigrette and two fried eggs (seriously, the most delicious salad EVER), and finally a quick thrown together supper early before Bible Study.
As for me, I'm going to try to eat something healthy and bearable and then hopefully plow through the rest of the stuff in the basement.
And if we happen to run into each other over the course of the day we will gaze deeply into each others eyes and be grateful to have lived long enough to have this many children and this much stuff (ok, not so much the stuff, but definitely the children).

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary! I won't bore your readers with the details but God put these two together. Who would have thought that in the small village of Mali in Africa twenty some years ago God was busy answering my prayer for a Christian wife for Matt in the form of a tiny, sweet little girl named Anne. Matt had just about given up on finding the right girl for him and had decided he could be happy enough as a batchelor and anyway, he had Maggie, his faithful dog instead for companionship! I "suggested" that just for the Heck of it, if he DID want a wife, he might make a list of qualities he would like in her. He did that and it wasn't very long before he met Anne who fulfilled EVERY item on that LONG list...They are now celebrating eight happy years,and we are so grateful to God that ANNE is in his life along with 4 1/2 wonderful grandchildren....Oh,Maggie still holds a place of honor in their h ome! (sorry, I guess I DID want to bore your readers!!!)
Love, Mom and Dad, Shawn and Doug

Dear Anne and Matt,
In spirit I'm sending you cards and flowers and presents. And in reality, once your dad and I get back to NY here's a promise that we stay home with the kids while you go out to dinner.
Happy Anniversary!

Happy anniversary to you and Matt! :) You're both blessings (not only to each other, I presume) but to people you've never met! Thanks for sharing parts of your lives with us.
