Happy Anniversary to US!!!!

I got up early because this post could take awhile.  You see, today I married the love of my life... 26 years ago.  I didn't understand he was the love of my life then... but I know it in my soul after all these years!

Another thing that really clicked the other day was when a friend I haven't talked to for years reminded me of "Almost Paradise"... the song we used in our wedding.  Years later I thought it was corny... but now I think it was prophetic.  Especially living in Paradise Bay.  Especially since my salvation came about by seeing the change in my husband once he came to Jesus!  I want to share the words:

I thought that dreams belonged to other men
'Cuz each time I got close
They'd fall apart again

I feared my heart would beat in secrecy
I faced the nights alone
Oh, how could I have known
That all my life I only needed you

Chorus
Whoa-oa
ALMOST PARADISE
We're knocking on heaven's door
ALMOST PARADISE
How could we ask for more?
I swear that I can see forever in your eyes
Paradise

It seems like perfect love's so hard to find
I'd almost given up
You must've read my mind
And all these dreams I saved for a rainy day
They're finally comin' true
I'll share them all with you
'Now we hold the future in our hands

Chorus

And in your arms salvation's not so far away
We're getting closer, closer every day

Chorus

 I love him more every day.... if that is even possible.  I hate to be away from him.  He makes me whole. He makes me laugh.  He makes me feel loved like never before.  He is my love, my life, my forever.
