On an afternoon in Lakewood, CO, 18 years ago today, Anita and I were joined together in holy matrimony! It’s hard to believe two things:

1. How far we’ve come. I can remember scrapping together just enough cash for a dollar movie and some popcorn. Red Lobster was a huge deal! We started out in a studio apartment where the cops used to park at night to save time and gas (they were going to be there eventually). On top of all that…we were basically just kids. Again…how far we’ve come!
2. How lucky I am to have such an amazing wife! She is far more than I deserve…more than I could have ever hoped for. God has truly blessed me with a Proverns 31 wife and I thank Him for it every day!

We spent today together. Sushi followed by some shopping and a movie. Nothing fancy. We don’t need it (and we can’t afford it ).  As long as we spend it together that’s all that matters.

In some ways the last 18 years have flown by. In other ways I can’t believe how long it’s been. One thing is for sure…I can’t wait for the next 18 years with my amazing bride! Love ya babe!

Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.
Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life

Her children stand and bless her. 
Her husband praises her: “There are many virtuous and
capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!”

Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; 
but a woman who fears the Lordwill be greatly praised.
Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
Proverbs 31:10-11, 28-31, NLT
