Number 21!

Twenty-one years ago today, Jay and I became husband and wife!  It's not a milestone number like last year, but every year is still special!  

I was praying and thinking about what I wanted to write today as a special little gift for the incredible husband I have been blessed with!  Jay is hard working, always loving, and completely self-giving.  His faith and his family define him and being a husband and father are the most important things in the world to him! 

The idea of a musical montage popped in my head...which is kind of funny since I'm not good at all with figuring out who sings what!  Here goes nothing!

Having a big family in today's world is an adventure.  Our lives, like most, are much more of  a roller coaster ride than a merry go round!  The more people on the roller coaster, the louder it gets!    

There have been lots of days when we were Living on a Prayer.  (And, thankfully, those prayers got answered!)

Though we never chose the name, Sweet Baby James was always the tune you sang to soothe all the babies we have been blessed to hold.

There were some bumpy times when Michael Buble's Lost would have fit the moment.

Thankfully, more often were the days we were Walking on Sunshine!

In the last few years, with kids growing older and also starting all over again with our bonus babies, Don't Blink has been our battle cry.

As we embark into a new decade in our marriage and in our life, I'm feeling a little excited (when I can quell my fear!), about what is still Unwritten!

In reality, all I really want is Just To Be With You.....and I'm grateful that I've Got You Babe!

While searching around the internet for song lyrics, I stumbled across We Got the Love by Restless Heart....It seems to fit just right!  Happy Anniversary, Jay!  Love you:)

When the good Lord was handing out 

The best things from above 

We got the love 

We got the love 

I know we don't have a lot of money 

We can barely keep the bills paid honey 

But when we're in each other's arms 

Who needs all that stuff 

We got the love 

We got the love 

Don't need the finer things 

Fancy cars or no diamond rings 

I wanna roll down a simple road 

Rock with you when we get old 

Sometimes life's a desperate situation 

Sometimes it's just grim determination 

But I know we'll do what it takes 

To make us tough enough 

We got the love 

We got the love 

We got the love 

We got the love 

Don't need the finer things 

Fancy cars or no diamond rings 

I wanna roll down a simple road 

Rock with you when we get old 

Built this house of bricks and stone together 

Trying to make it strong to last forever 

But if these walls come tumblin' down 

We still ain't givin' up 

We got the love 

We got the love 

We got the love 

We got the love
