50 Years of Blessings
On June 20, 1964 ~ We became Husband and Wife...
I thought at the time, nothing could top that experience.
We were on top of the world, or so it seemed!
Cutting the cake...
On the same date, at the same time, fifty years later
we returned to the place where our marriage began.
It is no longer the Velasco Methodist Church,
but it still looks the same,
and it still brings back those sweet memories.
Apparently the "I Do's" were permanent declarations of our love.
A marker has been erected to show
the church's historical significance.
After our wedding, our 'second kiss' took place
outside, on the church sidewalk,
when he swept me off my feet.
Fifty years and many kisses later,
we were photographed again,
to commemorate the original picture.
On July 4, 2014, our children honored us
with a celebration for our 50th Anniversary at our home.
After our meal there was another cake
spotlighting many events from our life together,
baked and decorated by our dear friend, Rhonda Mills.
All of us were here...
Scott's Family
AJ, Laura, Kim, Scott, Kaylee, and Doug
Larry's Family
Caitlin, Larry, Jackie, and Hunter
Duane and Denise
(and one very special little boy~the topic of a future blog)
Our family has made us proud, and continues to do so!
How could I have thought, as a bride,
that we had reached the top of the world?
So many wonderful experiences have made our life
more than I could have imagined.
Just this past spring another exciting event happened in our life
which has already and will continue to enrich our family,
and the lives of his mommy and daddy.
We have been so blessed!
