Thankful Thursday with Anniversary and Birthday Wishes

Happy anniversary number 4 to Brittany and Jeremy. They were married April 30 2016. It was a beautiful ceremony and a wonderful celebration.  They have weathered a few storms already. But good marriages always take the great times with the not so perfect ones.  I am thankful for these kids and their kids too. They are champs when it comes to managing their household, the new rules for living in recent weeks and still smiling when all is said and done. 

These two belong together. They met at their mutual job site. They are both Denver Bronco fans so their wedding had a Bronco theme. It was a great day, it snowed a bit but the wedding was indoors so it made for a perfect day.  Their life together has had more joyful moments. It has been good this past four years because of these three:

Jeremy stepped right in  and took Addy  along for this new journey . She is a great girl and Jeremy enjoys this life he is living. Brother I came along and then Brother 2. These three make their lives happier and there is lots of fun in their household.

Marriage is never easy. It is was everyone would be happily married. We would all like to walk into it with a box full of good things, all the wonderful things we enjoy. But marriage is truly like an empty box. You get out of it what you put into it.  It doesn't hurt if you choose to put Jesus at the center of your marriage. He adds the perfection.

I love this little poem. You might think it is sappy or silly but I like the words to it. I want Brittany and Jeremy to have their hearts locked together for this entire lifetime. They are raising a beautiful phamily. They have lots of love at their house. Laughter too. The kids are the right additions to this great marriage recipe! I hope you will join me in wishing them a happy anniversary and a wonderful life.

Before I sign off I have to wish Mister Kitty a/k/a Tiger or Mister Tomkins a happy feline birthday. 

He turns 7 on April 30. I tried to give him away for their wedding present but they politely declined. When Jeremy was a single guy still living at home he thought this feline was a fine addition to our house. Hmmm.... I never wanted another cat after my Boots left this ole world. But here I am seven years later making sure this big boy has a good home and isn't roaming the streets singing for his supper. As you may have noticed, this fellows hasn't missed a single meal in seven years. Happy Birthday kitty. 

Thankful Thursday
