I Started Life Twelve Years Ago

In August of 1993 I was sitting in the cafeteria of the college I was attending, when I saw a guy walk in that took my breath away. He was so cute! He just had this smile that made my heart skip a beat! He was wearing a multi colored shirt and blue jeans with brown leather shoes. He was PERFECT!! I even told my friends I was sitting with "well there he is!", they said "who?" and I said " the man I am going to marry"! Eleven months later, on July 23, 1994 that dream came true.

WOW! We have already been married twelve years! Time has gone by so fast. Here is the synopsis: we moved 6 times, we have had 8 cars, we have gained ALOT of weight, we have had 3 wonderful children, Sid has had 3 jobs, we have been members of 4 churches and 3 gyms, and I am still in love with my perfect man. Would I do all over again? In a heart beat. So in honor of 12 years here are 12 reasons I love him so much:

1. He brings joy into my life!
   
2. He is a great leader for our family.
3. He taught me how to be strong and know why I believe what I believe.
4. He admits when he is wrong and seeks to make it right.
5. He sneaks little pieces of chocolate in his pocket at work and brings them home to me.
6. He wants me to be the best I am able to be.
7. He gives great back rubs!
8. He helps me any way he can.
9. He supports me and my wild ideas.
10. He accepts my friends.
11. He kills my spiders!
12. He puts the seat down

That was just a little fun and a little list. I could go on and on about the things I love about this man. I thank God He brought Sid into my life. I thank him for the fun times, the still times, the busy times, the bad times and the sweet times that follow. I thank God for making Sid for me. So, I have loved the last 12 years when I really started living and hope we are blessed with 70 more! ( I love you honey! Thank you for teaching me to blog!)
