14 years of wedded bliss <3

Yesterday Neil and I celebrated our fourteenth wedding anniversary. On one hand, it seems that we have been married forever. On the other hand, being married for that long seems to imply that we are well, old or on our way to it. I look at my friend Meg, who is 21 and getting married and think, was I really that young when I got married?! Indeed, I was. But hey, getting old with Neil is something that I look forward to.

I am so thankful that even while we were young and immature, God brought us together and has continued to strengthen our marriage through all the ups and downs of life, parenthood, ministry and more. We have been able to grow up together. I am so grateful for Neil, he is an awesome husband and man of God. He makes my life sweet.

Next year we celebrate the big 1-5. This means a trip of some sort! We are thinking about a cruise, since we have never done that before. For our 10 year, we went to an all inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic. Fun, but a waste of money since we don't drink (which is the main perk of the all inclusive). If you have any recommendations, let me know!

Happy New Year!

Being as today is the first day of the new year, I have been doing some thinking about personal goals for 2008. Mine are currently just floating around in my head, but I need to put them down on paper. I was listening to a radio station today and someone called in about resolutions, saying how they don't make them because the resolutions will just get broken anyway. I thought about that, and think it is a cop out. So basically she was not giving herself anything to aim for at all. I know that I may not achieve all my goals, but I want to aspire to something. Speaking of, I am watching the new Biggest Loser right now. Wow, this show is so inspiring. I love watching other people work out and I am amazed at what happens when people work out like, 24/7! Working out, that is another one of my 2008 goals. I started aerobics in the fall, and I don't want to slack off on that this winter which is easy to do.

If you have a resolution for '08, feel free to share in the comments!
