This is going to be a little sappy...just a warning! I wanted to post the vows I wrote for Brad for our wedding day and had to go through a little trouble to get them....apparently my poetry from before we were married is not listed on Poetry.com any longer...at least not without me having a Facebook account :-) So, I had to dig out our wedding VHS tape :-) and play, pause, rewind...play, pause, rewind...a few times to get all the words to the vows I wrote and said to him. It was amusing to watch my romantic, 26 year old, self pledging my love and faithfulness to him. Kenna watched it with me and said, "Mom, you were really sweet!" I hope the emphasis was not on WERE. There is so much that is unknown on a wedding day....I praise God I chose wisely and Brad has been, I think, the perfect match for me, a constant friend, strong spiritual leader, and a better dad to our daughters than I would have ever dreamed!
My Sweet Prince
A penny to a well I did not toss, nor have I wished upon a star that crossed my darkened sky...
But I found from God in the simplest kiss...a friend for life, my Sweet Prince
It may not be a Fairy Tale, but we will find joy amidst some peril. Life is silly and it will hand us straw for gold. But I refuse to see straw as such when my heart has learned love's "Midas Touch". Each time as us a jagged rock is thrown, let's remember, with gentle hands it becomes a precious stone.
Together, let us save these gems. For we may not know the where's and when's...only how and with whom to handle them. Surely they will make our home a castle full of light...steadfast, strong and fastened tight from attacks that will try the weakest points in the dark of night.
So, My Prince, let's laugh out loud! We have a secret plan for when evil comes 'round. Love will give us the strength to laugh and God will let this laughter abound.
HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY, BRAD! LUB, ME
