He had me at "Hello"

I walked into a record store 15 years ago and met my wonderful husband Ken. March 3rd will mark our 14th wedding anniversary. It was our passion for music that sparked conversations which led to our first date and, to this day he still moves me.

Ken is a gentleman, Renaissance man, father, friend and my soul mate. His flaws are so few to his goodness, kindness and love. I appreciate and respect the man God blessed me to be with and I'm happy to say that we have more laugh lines on our face than anger or worry.

Tonight I pulled out old photos to have some laughs and I wanted to share with you a part of our history - Our wedding photo. We were babies!

In honor of our anniversary we are going to eat at Hot Dog World just as we did our very first anniversary this time as a family. It's been an amazing journey filled with joyful and heart breaking events that have drawn us closer.

Christmas 2008

Our passion for music bonded us into a family built on faith, love and commitment. I thank God for my life and my family.
