Our 18th Wedding Anniversary

Handsome Hubby and I just celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary.  Our wonderful children surprised us by planning an evening out for us without any help from either of their parents!

In the morning they made us breakfast in bed.  They even took MiniMan out when he woke up so I could sleep in.  When breakfast was ready they sang "Happy Anniversary".  We had scrambled eggs and hot chocolate (for me) and milk for Handsome Hubby.  We were given handmade cards and "the envelope" as soon as I picked it up there was a lot of jumping a squealing.  The enveloped had the gift cards, $3 (snack money), plus 2 printed schedules for local theaters so we could pick our movie in advance.

They asked one of the ladies at church (thanks K!) for help.  She bought the movies gift card and came to our house to watch the children.  The children pooled their money and paid for everything, except dinner.  They even gave us a few dollars to buy snacks with at the movie theater and sent us off with some homemade cookies in case the money was not enough.  How thoughtful!

So we had a lovely evening eating out and enjoying the movie Fireproof.  We only go to the movies 2-3 times a year and that includes when we take the children.  We were both glad to find that Fireproof was still showing.  What a wonderful movie.  We plan on buying a copy.  It just proves that good movies can be made without any smut.  I hope they make many more.

I am grateful for the Husband and children the Lord has blessed me with.  May he give us many more anniversaries to spend together.  Our family has been through a lot in the past few years.  The Lord has been faithful and supplied all of our needs.  He is so good!

To my blessings:  Thank you so much for making Daddy and Mommy's anniversary so very special.  I love each of you very much.

To my Handsome Hubby:  I am glad the Lord has let me be your wife.  Thank you for all you do for me and the children.  You are a good, godly man and one of the biggest blessings the Lord has given me.  I love you!

Have a blessed day!
