Twelve Years of Wedded Bliss



I'm finally getting a chance to sit down and take note that it is my and Joaquin's 12th anniversary!!! I love the way God can take two youngsters (22 and 24) and grow us up together, and in Him. We've had our share of sadness, disappointments, discontentment, and just plain selfishness, but we've also had each other through it all. I can say in all honesty that every year just keeps getting better.

The best marriage advice from this ol' veteran (haha!):

Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:13

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8

Happy Anniversary, My Love. I'm proud of the man you are and I am proud to be your wife! I love you!

I don't know you, but I was looking for the phrase "the key to having it all is believing you do" and came across your blog. You look like a happy couple and have a lot of trust in the Lord. I too believe in Jesus Christ and was wondering if you wanted to know more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and how we can be families forever. If you're interested let me know! If not, that's great too. Enjoy your marriage, thanks for the advice you posted! Good luck and may God bless you! --Becca

Thank you, Becca! If you too have trusted Christ as your Savior then we are already forever family! May God bless you too!
