It was my anniversary yesterday.

Twenty- six years.

Dated 3 years.

And met each other a year before that.
THIRTY years we have been in each other's lives.

Thirty years ago I had decided to start over in my life.

I am so glad that I did.

Ben and I have had an adventure. Our life is like watching a sitcom. Or better yet, I and some in my extended family, have said if we had a go-pro and put this on reality TV we would be rich.

If you watch a crazy family movie it could have been based on our lives.

There is something going on everyday.
Whether it is a problem to solve, a bump in the road, an adventure to go on, people to see, or people to help.

And most importantly there is God.
I will give Him all the credit for keeping my family strong, together, and blessed.

On our best days, we talk to Him.

On our hardest days, we talk to Him.

The life family brings, and the life that happens because of different circumstances, is blessed under the shelter of the God Most High, the King of Kings.

Every night when I lay my head down to sleep there are 2 things I know. God will be there watching me as I sleep and when I roll over Ben will be on the pillow next to me. Super good day, mediocre day, bad day - the commitment is there and that love is the kind of love God brings and it is something to celebrate.

That is family.
