There hasn't been a huge amount of things to really blog about since my last post, but the major event was our 38th anniversary on July 20th! Can't believe it's been that long since our "I do's" were exchanged in Montgomery, Alabama, but then again, so many terrific and also heart-wrenching things have happened over these 38 years! We've watch our two sons grow into strong, handsome men and welcomed a beautiful "daughter" into our family. We've opened, then closed a business 10 years later, worked through various jobs, lived in several homes, but only two cities. Tallahassee is now our home since we've been here 27.5 years. We've lost Carl's father (1988), my mom (1996), and my dad (just this past May 2012). Carl's mother has moved to Tallahassee and is actually celebrating her 94th birthday TODAY! She lives in an Assisted Living facility, but is doing well and will be looking for our faces this afternoon to see what we have brought her for her birthday! :)
God is good and faithful and has seen us through the good and the bad, the ups and downs, and He still holds us tight when we think we can't go another step. We are blessed with health, food, clothing & shelter; good friends, great church home, and loving extended family.
Blessings to you all....
great post!
