20 Years
It was 20 years ago on March 1st that I said those two words to Krystal and I haven't regretted them: "I do". It doesn't seem possible that we have been happily married for 20 years. They really have been happy, too. Looking back it seems as if time has just flown by. As we reflected over the twenty years, there are some great memories and stories to tell. It may seem a little crazy and "unusual" but we really never have had a fight. There have been some disagreements and apologies have had to be made from time to time, but never has the thought of separation or divorce ever entered into our minds or came out of our mouths. I'm not saying this in a prideful way, but in a thankful way. God has really been good to us as a couple. Krystal has been God's blessing and gift to me. I also think that she believes that I am a blessing and gift from God to her. That is probably why our marriage has been so good. When someone you love gives you a precious gift, you take care of that gift. Our relationship is my gift from God and I want to do all I can to nurture & protect this precious gift. I'm not perfect and I'm not always good at nurturing, but we both do what is needed to keep our relationship a priority.

This year we were able to do something really special for our 20th. Just a couple of weeks ago, we went our to eat at PF Chang's. It was a great night of dinning and spending the evening together. Then this past week, while Krystal was on spring break, I had booked two nights at the Big Cedar Lodge which is located just outside of Branson, MO. Neither one of us had been to Big Cedar and we were not disappointed. I rented a log cabin for two nights and we didn't really have a schedule. When you live by a schedule, not having one is a great gift you can give. We did have dinner at the Worman House at Big Cedar and spent a day in Branson just passing the time away together. We did go see the show "SIX" and really enjoyed it. We would highly recommend it. We spent time talking and taking a walk around Big Cedar Resort. It was quiet and very relaxing. It was a great time for us both to wind down and just be with each other.
Marriage isn't always easy because it has been ordained by God. Anything that has been ordained by God, Satan wants to destroy it. This precious gift that me and Krystal have isn't an exception. Our prayer is that God receives the glory in everything we do in our lives ~ especially our marriage & family.
Krystal, thank you for 20 great years. I'm glad I fell in love with my best friend. I am looking forward to many years to come. By the way, we need to begin planning for our big 25th Anniversary. It will be here before we know it!
