19 Years...

March 4, 1994 at James River Assembly of God in Springfield, Missouri Jason and I shared our vows to one another. "I, Amy, take you Jason, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

Even today, 19 years later, I couldn't imagine saying those words to anyone else than Jason.

God knew that Jason was the perfect fit for me and put him across my path to say "Hi" and I was hooked. Here we are 19 years later, still best friends and still excited to be sharing the life that we have together. It is not perfect by any means, but it is a commitment we both made to one another and before God and it is something we work at every day. It is so worth it. I love you honey.

To celebrate we got to go out for dinner tonight, while the kids stayed with Uncle John & Aunt Susie and cousins Sammy and Stephen. A BIG thank you to them.

We ate at one of our favorite places, P.F. Chang's. We have our favorites there - Crab Wontons, Panfried, Dumplings, Chang's Spicy Chicken and Beef Lo Mein. Yum! However, tonight we tried something new on our friends recommendation, Crispy Green Beans. They were great with a spicy sauce on the side to dip them in. Definitely a winner.

Another favorite thing to do is to go to bookstores and look around, so we strolled over to Barnes & Noble. I got to check out a couple of books I am wanting to get and then we treated ourselves to Starbucks drinks and dessert, another favorite.

All my favorites together makes for a wonderful celebration. Looking forward to this 19th year to see what God has in store for us.
