31 Years Ago Today

It’s hard to believe that we were married 31 years today. I only feel about 27…..doing the Math that just doesn’t work…Dw says he makes up for it, cause he feels about 85!!
We have had a very sweet day….even though Dw worked and I sat at a doctor’s office for 2 hours while the doc worked on re-doing all the physicals for our 6 youngest kids (thanks to the house burning down, immigration is requiring us to do almost our entire homestudy again for Jubilee’s adoption – bless their hearts)….after we were able to have lunch with some of our dearest friends in the world, Steve and Celestia.
Tonight Dw & I went to dinner alone at on the patio at one of our favorite spots.

My sweet friend Sara saw the outfit I’m wearing in one of the little boutiques downtown. She said it just screamed, “Linny!” She bought it for me and surprised me with it – unbelievable! Yesterday my sweet friend Tavvy, who is a massage therapist, made an appointment for me (without me knowing) and drug me in and gave me a full massage. I haven’t had one in over 10 years. Today I was one muscle-relaxed, stylin’ woman thanks to these two precious friends!!

Thank you Whitey for being my best friend!! I love you with all my heart!

  7. You two are the cutest couple!! Happy anniversary!!
    Sounds like you had a great day (well, other than the physicals for 6- yucko)

    Wishing you another 31 wonderful years together!!
    Too cool!!

  8. Congratulations! Our 33rd anniversary is on September 4th, so you and I really are in the same time era. I can so relate to feeling like a 27-year-old inside. It always surpises me when a younger mom can't recognize the "real" me who is hidden in this 50+-year-old skin!!! I love your outfit – it really does fit your personality. What a special friend!

    BTW, Dw's color looks very good. I hope he's feeling well.

  9. You LOOK like your 27, Linny! But please reassure your DW that he does NOT look 85.

    Thank you for the witness to commitment and covenant – you are inspirational to say the least. God Bless you on number 31!

  14. You look Maaaahvelous, darling. 🙂 Happy Anniversary to a precious couple. Thank you for your faithfulness to each other and to God. You are a blessing to many!!

  15. Classy,hip and beautiful. I am so glad that you were able to enjoy an evening together. By the way, how is your husband feeling these days? I am currently very sick with a rare bacterial disease…ahh, the romantic life of a missionary 🙂 Hugs from Uganda.

  16. Hi Linny, I wanted to let you know that you inspired me to start my own Thankful Thursday yesterday! THANK YOU for the reminder to always choose thankfulness instead of grumbling. I want to be one who chooses to be thankful!

    Blessings to you today!

  17. Did you find your key? … smile. Your picture is darling!!!

    Been thinking so much about FAITH! "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight… which can cling so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith!"

    We love you both –

    S & C
