It's Our Day!

Happy 8th Year Anniversary, to my sweet Roy Boy!



To My Dear and Loving Husband

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
-Anne Bradstreet

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, DONNA AND ROY!!! I can't believe you've been married for eight years already. Time goes by so fast. The Lord has blessed you with two beautiful children....and hopefully one or two more to come.

I LOVE the poem you posted. Who wrote it, and how did you find it? Just another example of your finding just the right information (pictures, articles, etc.) for your blog posts. You're so special. Have a wonderful day. ILY

Oops, it's still early and maybe I'm not at my best yet. I just saw that the poem was written by Anne Bradstreet. How did you find it?

Happy Anniversary Donna. Ditto on the beauty of your wedding. It was a nice day. I can always remember how many years it is for you by little J's age.

Nikki, you did not go to far. You just put into words what we were all thinking!
