On this day 17 years ago, Stanley and I got married. We did not get married in a church either time we got married. (we divorced in 1997 and lived together and then we remarried in 2003) We have been talking about renewing our vowels this fall in the church. My original plan was to have the pastor that saved (meaning, walked me to the Lord) and then baptized me and baptized all of our kids, to perform the service. I don't know what we will do now. But I really think it is important for us to renew our vowels in a church, since we both rededicated our lives to Christ after we got married the second time, and since we never had that church wedding.
It would be nice to have pictures and family and friends there ... It saddens me how my plans have been shot down. Yeah I'm feeling sorry for myself. You picture your kids getting married in the church you have known most of your life, and BAM, it ain't going to happen, and it upsets me!
Happy original Anniversary Stanley ... I love you more now than I did then, you are an amazing husband, friend, lover, and father. I am so happy God kept us together!

To My Loving Husband - Happy Anniversary Baby!
Dear Stanley,
I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed the 17 years we've been together! I know we have been through some tough times, we've made a lot of mistakes, and we've broken each others hearts ... but I would not trade it for anything in the world. Matter of fact, I would do it all again because I am so happy and so in love with you!
I know we have many songs ... but this is a song that is a great description of how I feel about you.
You can watch the video or just listen to the song by clicking HERE
I love you baby, and I'm sorry I have to work tonight, but tomorrow is my last day, and so tomorrow night I am looking forward to just us going out and celebrating our many years together ... It gets better every year!
All my love,
Cindy

No One
By Alicia Keys
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cuz
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry cause
Everythings gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
You you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try
Try to divide
Something so real
So till the end of time
I'm telling you there is no one
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one no one no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
Oh oh oh...

I Am Blessed!
As my wedding anniversary approaches, I am thinking about how far Stanley and I have come, and how much in love with him I still am after 17 years together. We still hold hands, sit by each other on the couch and snuggle (or as Noah Short says, "nuggle"). We hold hands when we pray, we say "I love you" all the time, we kiss each other everyday, everynight, and several times in bewteen. We truly love each other and WORK at our marriage. I often PRAISE GOD for the husband I have. I KNOW FOR A FACT that he is the man GOD intended me to be with. I am so fortunate to have a husband who loves the LORD, his family, and works so hard to provide for us.
If I were to give marriage advice, this is what I would say.
1. PUT GOD FIRST, then your SPOUSE, then your kids, then your extended family, and then your friends. IT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU PUT ANYONE EXCEPT GOD BEFORE YOUR SPOUSE!!!!
2. "Date" your spouse as often as you can. Flirt with your spouse everyday!
3. TALK about your problems calmly and as soon as they arrise (a lesson it took me a long time to learn), letting it stir is bad and no one wants to talk to someone who is yelling!
4. ADMIT WHEN YOUR WRONG, and APOLOGIZE!!!!
5. Don't criticize or call names, just explain what is wrong and ask that they stop.
6. Last but not LEAST -- Pray for your marriage! Pray for God to strengthen it and draw you closer to each other. Pray for your spouse and for yourself too!
It is sad when people start having problems in their marriage, and they turn away from God instead of toward God. It is more sad when Church family turns their back on couples who need spiritual guidance and support!!!! We should not be judgmental, we should reach out and offer help! I am praying for several couples who need the church, and have tried to help in any way I could ... but like our guest preacher said Sunday ... divorce affects everyone, not just the couple. I don't want to see the people I love seperate, not just for my sake, but for their kids and family's sake. And because I know that GOD IS AGAINST DIVORCE!
Well I am off to think about my loving husband, and to brainstorm a great place for us to go out to eat this Saturday (anniversary is on Friday, but have to work :( ) ... we want to start a tradition so I want it to be a good place, but I also like my favorite place (LOS AMIGOS)! Any suggestions?

Happy 4th Anniversary Stanley
These four years have been the best out of the 16 total we've been together. Together (and with God's help) we have changed our lives and ventured on the right path. I love being your wife, I love knowing that I have a soft place to fall, and loving arms to hold me. I feel safe with you. You are home to me, my comfort, my love, and I love you more than words can say and emotions can express. I love you more today than I did the first time I married you.
May there be more laughter, more hugs and kisses, more tears of joy, and more great times ahead. May we never take each other for granted, but spend each moment together as if it were our last. May we always put God first, may we always follow him, and may we always know that he is our strength and the force that holds us together. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen
