Laugh through marriage: How we keep laughing
Our marriage isn’t perfect. We have our ups and downs and our real doozies. Don’t anyone look at us, and think we don’t struggle. One of our greatest strengths as a couple though is that we laugh through marriage–a lot! Laugh through Car problems? I was to accompany my husband to take my van to… [continue reading]
Meant for Each Other!
Twenty two years! Happy anniversary to us! When I look back at how things went leading up to my husband and I meeting, I’m convinced we were meant for each other.

Today is our 21st wedding anniversary!
We’ve been married 21 years and 18 of them happy. Ha! I’ve been wanting to say that ever since a man once told me that about himself and his wife. I thought it was great.

The Unsubmissive Wife

Marriage and Self Confidence
Marriage changes you for better or for worse or a little of both sometimes. After a bunch of years married, because I’m oh so old and wise. Ha!

Ramada Hotel, Jerusalem
Continuing our fourth day in Israel, we said goodbye to Kibbutz Haon Guest House on the Sea of Galilee, saw the traditional site on the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized, climbed/rode up to Masada, floated in the Dead Sea and then drove to Jerusalem. We would be staying in Jerusalem three nights at the… [continue reading]
Keep the fun in marriage!
My engineer, I love him. I think we balance each other out. Sometimes he pulls harder his way–learning, studying, documentaries, museums. And sometimes I pull harder my way–fun, laughter, movies, theme parks. In the middle we’re a great balance. He was pulling pretty hard for some boring heady activity. That’s when I decided to lay… [continue reading]
