Joyeux Anniversaire de mariage

Today we celebrated 17 years of marriage.  What a blessing our lives have been.  Have there been ups and downs?  ah yeah.  But overall, our marriage has been a joyful experience.  While there are times I don't understand what my heavenly Father is trying to do in my marriage, I know He always has a greater plan and purpose than I could every imagine or even hope for.  Over the past few years I have seen how our marriage has become stronger, securer, and deeper.  I am so blessed to have Bill stand by my side.  Believe me I know I am NOT an easy person but he doesn't give up.  Love you, Babe.

Since it is a Sunday not much was happening so I had the opportunity to take a walk with Natalie along the countryside by her home.  We walked over 6 miles.  Did not have camera with me but I will try to get back there to snap some shots.

Our dinner plans were fondu!!!  Had a very wonderful time celebrating with great friends and our family.

Fondu.  Tried eating outside but that is where all the smokers eat.
