27

Happy Anniversary! 27 years!

I had this scanned 2 years ago to make my husband an anniversary card to celebrate our 25th.

27 years ago, I thought for certain we would have this huge celebration on our
25th anniversary. It didn't happen, we had a nice dinner with my in-laws and a couple aunts and our uncle. It was wonderful! Tonight, we are having dinner alone at one of our favorite restaurants. I'm leaving out much of the revelation and spirituality in this because I just can't put into words how I am feeling right now.
I love the fact my husband is grinning ear to ear in this picture, with his Mike Brady hair!
I remember he was sweating it out, through the whole ceremony, while I was as calm as can be.
I remember I danced, and danced, and danced! We had a rented hall, we did our own decorations, we had to run out after the rehearsal dinner and grab a nice serving knife because I forgot. I didn't realize until just minutes before I threw the bouquet that I didn't have a spare, I had pledged mine for Mom's grave. So I ran around pulling flowers where I could from various arrangements and wrapped them in ribbon. We had a huge feast of traditional Slavic food dishes! I had to serve myself!
I loved it!
I was 20 years old, I had just dropped out of college, had no job, yet I was loving this day like no day before!
I am loving today! I am loving life more than ever!
Thank you Father for the blessings we have received!
Thank you Father for the trials we have shared!
Thank you for my family, our love and laughter!
Happy dance, happy dance in my heart today to you!
