Ten years ago today Tony White chose to marry me. It wasn’t a big flashy ceremony, it was just a trip to the Courthouse with our children. He wanted jeans and I said that it was fine with me. I carried some daisies from the grocery store and we went out to eat at Judges later on.
But the last 10 years have brought many good times and certainly some difficult ones. But, I didn’t have to go through any of the tough times alone. All the while, Tony has been at my side and I have been by his. We’ve had the opportunity to do some traveling together, obviously to Maine, but also to Vegas, San Antonio, Germany, Charleston, Florida, Gettysburg, Virginia Beach, Atlanta, Decateur, Dahlonega, Warm Springs, the NC Mountains and anywhere else we can think of to go together.
Our children are growing up in front of our eyes, the day we got married we gave the girls some bride dolls… and the girls fussed about getting a shower. Today they’re 15 (well 1 day away) and 17. Jeremiah was but 11 years old and today he is married and a Dad. Gideon was in a stroller but is 11 today and Isaac was just a twinkle in his father’s eye. He’s now 9.
I don’t know what the next ten years hold, but I sure am glad to have Tony White by my side. I can’t wait to see where we get to travel and how our children will change. Life is good and God has been good to me to give me such a wonderful husband.
