26 years ago today, Lauralea and I were married


For all my perfectionist tendencies, and all my eldest child efforts, she's taught me the most about grace.

And I am blessed to the core of my being.
Amazing indeed.

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
 My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

  1. Nate thought I was a bad daughter for not knowing when your anniversary was.

    Happy anniversary!

  2. Happy anniversary to you both.

    Johanna - FWIW I can never remember my parents dates: somehow they just don't stick.

  4. Toni: I figure, it's the couples' responsibility to remember their own anniversary, not anyone else's. I don't expect anyone besides Nate to remember our anniversary (I can never remember if it's the 20th or the 22nd).
