Twenty-two years ago

Mike and I were married 22 years ago today in the local WELS church. My mother made my wedding dress and head piece. The "crown" portion was worn by my mom during her wedding. The weather was beautiful during the day. I ran my errands wearing a short-sleeved shirt. During the 4:00 service, a huge thunderstorm hit. Everyone was drenched moving from church to cars and finally into the reception hall. The next morning, my new husband and I headed off in my 1983 Mustang for our honeymoon in Texas. It's been a wonderful 22 years and we have been blessed in many ways throughout or lives together. Amazingly, we both look exactly the same.....not! Mike no longer wears a mustache and I weigh a "few" pounds more than I did back then.

Mike is coming home from work early tonight, so that we can go out to celebrate. Last year, two of the kids were sick, so we ate Chinese in our bedroom while watching DVD's.
