A Humorous Proposal

There is nothing like finding a little humor in the day! Especially when that humor happens to highlight a special event occuring that same day.

Today is a very special day for my oldest brother, Dennis, and his wife, Kim, as they celebrate 28 years of marriage. I have been truly blessed to see first hand the love they have for each other and the godly marriage they have created.

I know your asking, "so where does the humor come in?" Well, after seeing the movie Frozen (which I highly recommend) with Dave and the kids, we decided to head to Taco Bell for a quick lunch. I ordered my usual two crunchy taco supremes. On taco number two, I happened to look at the packet of Salsa Verde I had used and a smile came to my face. The packet said "will you marry me?" which I of course showed with a big smile on my face to my love, Dave. Then came the funny part. The next one I looked at said "I'm up for it if you are". I had to laugh and showed it to Dave as if it was a response to the previous "proposal". Finding humor in the whole thing, I looked at the last packet I had used and it said "you have chosen wisely". 

Its funny how on the day my brother and his wife are celebrating their marriage, a marriage proposal and response occurred on my sauce packets. Who knows maybe some day someone will be able to use those packets to do a real proposal but for today it made me smile and think of how blessed my brother and his wife are with their 28 years together and myself in my own 18 years of marriage.

Happy Anniversary Dennis and Kim!

Oh, and thank you Taco Bell for bringing some humor and love to my day.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

17 Years and Counting!

Its hard to believe that it was 17 years ago today that Dave and I were married.  In ways, its hard to remember the time before we were married. Funny how life together overshadows our lives apart. 

One thing I remember clearly is that I was finally okay with being in my mid 20's and single when my dad asked that fateful question "are you seeing anyone?" Little did I know how my life would change with that question.

Dave and I were introduced by our dads which most of you know the story so I won't retell it here.

What have I learned in the last 17 years? Too much for one post. I do know that being in NJ without any family locally made us rely and lean on each other more. There was no going home to parents....we had to work things out.  

We have gone through joys (our kids being the greatest joy) and hard times together.  I know that besides being my husband Dave is my friend and wants the very best for me as I want for him. 

Together we have been on an amazing journey and I look forward to the years together God has planned for us as parents, friends and husband and wife.
