Holy cow, 14 years!!!

14 Years ago these 2 crazy kids got married. With the odds stacked against them, very little money, a black VW Bug and a white plymoth laser. They started there life in a cute little 2 bedroom attic apartment. It was so small that it didnt have a bathroom door. The door was a shower curtain and no bathtub. 2 babies came quickly, One baby girl and one baby boy, that brightened there world. But it was stressful they both worked full time and did whatever it took to take care of each other and those 2 kids counting on them. Though at time they both just wanted to go home to there own moms. They struggled and recognized that there trials made them stronger. They noticed each others weakness and at times wanted to quit, but they were committed to there family. Just as they knew how much heavenly father love them and knew them personally. The adversary also knew them and he knew there weakness even better. But through time and through what men at times refer to as nagging. These two overcame there weaknesses. They were sealed to each other and the two beautiful children that brightened there world. Than they were blessed with two more one boy and one girl. 14 years later they enjoy breakfast at village inn cuddled in a booth. Because he has to go to work late that night 4 pm until 4 am. Though its not a fancy dinner, they are together and thats all that matters. Her hair is messy and she is in sweats with no makeup. He still looks young as ever ball cap and jeans. Those two crazy kids with the odds stacked against them beat the odds and sit in that booth grateful that they did not give up when times got tough. Grateful that they found each other and though at times they still make each other crazy, they are still committed.
