Works For Me: Mom, I'm Bored!
Today We Are THAT Family is hosting the "Mom, I'm Bored" edition of WFMW, which came not a moment too soon. We are on our third day of summer break, and I've already heard the word "bored" once. (At which point I ever-so-graciously offered the "bored" child a scrub brush...

Slug Bug: The Official Rules
In this family, we're pretty serious about the game of Slug Bug. I mean, we're really serious--we even have official rules (complete with a Five-Second Rule and Dealership Clause), which I've shared over at Parenting today. (I even use a "whereas" and a "herein". You can't argue with a "whereas"...

You obviously are still in love and that is a very beautiful thing.

Congrats! Funny, I'm up late writing a little "Fifth-year anniversary post." It didn't occur to me to sum it up in six words. I could have gone to bed hours ago! haha

What a beautiful photo! Our 11th is this Saturday. We are having a garage sale that morning. Romantic, right? Then my mom is keeping the kids that evening so we can go out to dinner - adults only (anyone remember what that's like?).
Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and one ! to grow, and thrive on. :-D
I've been married 15 years in April. There are many things I should have done differently in those years, but none I can really regret as I wouldn't have the children (blessings) that we do. Grow, learn - forgive and forget!
God Bless!

Happy Anniversary!!! We just celebrated #15 a couple weeks ago...it goes so fast. I'd do it again too!
Congrats!
Posted by: Candace | Thursday, June 04, 2009 at 08:35 AM
Happy Anniversary! Love the photo.
It is so odd to me that we will celebrate our 14th Anniversary this year and we have a 20 month old. When others married just as long have teenagers or at least pre-teens. God is personal & His plans for each of us are unique!

We were married 21 days later, on an unseasonably cold afternoon the 15th of June, and when they later served the strawberry pie out in the tent on the back lawn, twilight setting in dusky, I wrapped myself in a quilt from my grandmother... a wedding ring pattern.
But the two weeks prior? Record setting heat. You too, there in the south? You and your groom sure are steaming things up the church there! I'm smiling :) .
Happy anniversary, Shannon! I hope you and he have had a grand weekend celebrating the wonder of the covenant...
All's grace....

Today's my 11th anniversary! That is neat. I have never done this, but I put a smilebox slideshow on my blog for my husband. It was really eye-opening to look back and see all that the Lord has done over the years. Blessings on your marriage!!!

May your marriage continue in the path of His glory as your heart overflows with His love together.
