12 years ago today I watched my beautiful bride walk down the aisle, take my hand and begin a journey that neither one of us could have ever expected. This is the same girl who has had to endure the dreaded track season break-ups in high school, the week long Rocky marathon when I first got the box set, and the horrible nightmare that was my celiac disease. She is the only woman in the world who would have stuck around for that. Well, maybe not. I mean what girl wouldn't want to watch a new Rocky movie every night of the week? Amber was with me with the same tears in her eyes when we watched Rocky Balboa in his last movie a couple of years ago.
It was 12 years ago that we left for our Honeymoon to Destin, FL. Our flight was cancelled and instead of waiting till the next day, we loaded up the car and drove instead. It turned out the be one of the biggest highlights of the trip. We spent hours talking and enjoying each other. Of course when we got to Destin and saw the soft sand, I had to take full advantage of it. We ran sprints every night to reap the benefits of a great leg workout on sand. What can I say, I am the ultimate romantic.
Anyways, it has been a wonderful 12 years and we are blessed beyond words. God has been very good to us. We have had tough times that made us stronger and we have had great times that made us thankful. Most of all we have LOVE.
