12 Yrs ago....11 Yrs of Marriage

12 Years ago on December 31, 1996, T.J. Ward asked me to be his wife. I will never forget it. We took a trip on our Christmas break from college to visit his aunt in Denver, Colorado. The night he asked, we were in Breckenridge enjoying some amazing scenery.

This Saturday the 20th, we will have been married 11 years. I cannot help but think back to the night I said "yes". He took me to an ice skating rink to propose, b/c it was on an ice skating rink near our college in Wisconsin that he first told me he loved me. I believe those were his last (and only) 2 times to be on ice skates :).

TJ.....so many hopes, prayers and dreams were ahead of us that night. We have been through so much in 11 years, but I can honestly say you are more than I ever dreamed I would have.

Thank you for pursuing Jesus. Thank you for loving me and our girls the way you do. I will never regret saying "yes" that night or "I do" on December 20th. I love you!!!
