19th Anniversary

Paul and I celebrated our 19th wedding anniversary.  I love celebrating our anniversaries, mostly because our kids love it so much and make it such a special celebration.  There are no restaurants in the village we live in so every year they decorate a room for us to have a special meal in.  They go all out with the decorations and with the meal.

The kids love dressing up and serving us our food.  We ring them every time we need something and they come running to serve us.  They are so cute because they are so excited to serve us.

Sometimes we dress up really nice, but this year we had been out back digging in our hole all day and we didn't feel like dressing up.  So, we had a nice relaxed dinner :)

19 years, it's hard to believe!  If  somebody had told me what lay ahead 19 years ago, I would have had a hard time believing it.   But I wouldn't change a bit of it.  Well at least not much... :)  I love being married to Paul and the life we live together and I love our nine kids and the joy they bring us.  I praise God for bringing us to this place in life and I'm looking forward to the next 19+ years and all that He has in store for us.

The boys could only come with one tie between them so they had to take turns with it.
