28 years ago today, I was in Florida getting ready to marry the man beyond my dreams. My dream had been to live in a small house in the backwoods of Maine, keeping chickens and goats and teach in a 1-room school house. Then Kevin came into my life and I gave all my old dreams up in order to JOYFULLY take on a new dream, one that was God-given.
Some of you have read my story. For those of you who haven’t, you might be interested in reading a series of posts I wrote for my children.
Celebrate with me these past 28 years of wonder, excitement, some struggles and hardship, losses and joys – but always, there was Kevin. He was there to be the best thing God ever brought into my life!
So sit back, grab a cup of eggnog (for the season) and a snack and follow me on my journey that led to today.

Happy Anniversary.
In a country full of throw-away marriages, I congratulate you for staying the course. The next generation needs to see that sticking with a marriage can be done.
Thanks so much, Elizabeth!
Kate,
I’ve been married a little over 5 years and have two very young children with my dream husband. You’re an inspiration to those of us just starting on this road. Thanks for being a Titus 2 blessing.
In His Grip,
Monica

Praise the Lord and thank you, Monica, for this very encouraging comment! It’s always a joy to spur others on to continue their course of faithfulness to the Lord (and our spouses)!!
I missed this! Happy Anniversary, Kevin & Kate. I hope you had a wonderful day, celebrating your love!
I’m late in responding…we didn’t really do anything special. We were waiting for a better time. We are still waiting! 😉
What an excellent idea! Those posts could make a very precious little book.
Aw, thanks Sylvia! I think one day I will put it into a book for each of the children. Thanks for the idea!
I loved every episode of the How I Met Your Father series. Happy 28th Anniversary! I hope you & your family have a wonderful Christmas and many blessings in 2013. Sending huge hugs. Thanks for all you do to strengthen my faith and lift my spirit throughout the year.
Tia, you are such a dear. I’ve missed you! May the Lord bless your New Year with great joy and strength in your family and a PRODUCTIVE year of writing!! Love and hugs!
