19 years

Today is my 19th wedding Anniversary. Wow it is hard to believe 19 years ago I got married, but then I look at my six kids and believe it! We didn’t date long that is for sure. I meet Rex in January, we married in August. He came into the restaurant where I worked as the late night waitress. He came in with a friend, his friend was the cook’s friend. I think he called me Marion the Librarian or something like that. Anyway I would spend time at the cook’s house on the weekends and got some more time with him. I remember one time we went to a skateboard contest and he entered it. He got on his board went a ways and then light up a cigar…it was so funny. He didn’t win but it certainly endeared me to him.

Our home is back on the market with a new realtor and we have not had any showing:) It is certainly wonderful to know everything is in God’s hands! He knows what is best for us. I was talking to one of my friends about prayer and she was telling me about a sermon she had just read. Saying wouldn’t be awful if God gave us everything we asked for.

We have made some more improvements to the house. Rex installed new flooring in the laundry room and he redid the counter in one of the bathrooms and in the laundry room. He installed a new ceiling fan and doorbell. Also a new outside light.

I still have a sore throat! It has been a couple weeks now. The morning is the worse but by the evening I am much better:) Rex has had his second cortisone shot and those seem to be working for him.

We went to Becoming Jane last weekend and we were both sorely disappointed. I wanted to walk out a couple times. It made me in the mood for a real Jane Austen movie though, so we rented one…LOL Rex bought me an outfit for our Anniversary and the kids got us Martini glasses, made chocolate truffles, Geneva got me some jewelry and Rex some chips:) the kids also got us a few other things.
