Last night, we celebrated Joel's birthday. He is a wonderful husband, father and grandfather! I'm so thankful for him! We have be
en married for over 30 years!! Wow!! We may be older but we're also wiser. There is a quote that says, "Newlyweds become oldyweds, and oldyweds are the reasons that families work. " Well, we must be oldyweds now, and somehow this family still works! Joel holds this family together whether he realizes it or not. I fell in love many years ago with a strong, quiet, loving young man. He may be a little grayer (okay, a lot grayer :) ), a little bigger, more talkative (because he has to be), and wiser, but he is still the strong, gentle spirit he has always been. Joel brings a lot of laughter to our family and so I will add this quote: "I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life." ~Rita Rudner. Hopefully the Lord will bless me, and the whole family, with many more years of laughter amid the annoyances -compliments of Joel!! J/K We love you, Joel!!:)
