"For Christians, the reason why it is ordinarily assumed that a marriage will go on 'til death do us part' has been that this advanced lesson in Charity which marriage opens into is a long, a difficult one, and the life span that my spouse and I are allowed will certainly not be nearly long enough to finish the lesson... I will have as much as I can do to learn this advanced lesson well with one other person; a harem will only confuse my efforts."
~Thomas Howard ("Hallowed be this House")

Hey, let me be the first series of electronic dots to wish you both a happy anniversary!
To my dear Godparents,
That quote rings very true, and I've only been married a year.
14 years! And many more to you! I think I can remember most of them... the old apartment on Robson, Lindeman, Avery as a baby, Kurt offering Gabe L. and I cigars on hearing you were expecting Jonah, the countless brilliant parties, New Years and Birthdays (aka moveable feasts!)...
And now new adventures begin.
Have a great Ivory Anniversary, Kurt and Victoria! What do you get that's legal? A piano, I guess.
and I the second. Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! i am happy for you both....
HAPPY HAPPY!!! i was thinking of you both today. i love ya both and wish you well...but i am still scarred from the dress i was forced (by mum) to wear at your wedding. although i can safely say that the attention was not on me...but on the wedding party.
Happy Anniversary!
I have yet to see this purple shirted picture of hillarium.
Indeed yes. Happy Anniversary to you both! God grant you many more years. We are so thankful you are in our lives.
Thomas and Ramona
thanks all.
it seems like it was yesterday I was getting married, having babies, and then again, it seems eons ago.
nothing about marriage has been simple, but it has been good.
marriage and kids are a powerful and irrevocable way work out your salvation with fear and trembling (and laughing, yelling, fighting, loving...)
hmmm, have just re-read...
thank you electronic-dotted-graham.
myn, i loved that dress on you! (snigger)
matt: ivory? vraiment? hmmmm. sure, if you can ship us a baby grand, we'll call it even. (hey, those were a lot of baked potatoes, eh?)
gabe? huh? what am I missing. purple shirted hillarium?
explain.
Have you forgottenthe "purple shirted hillarium"? Jurt's outfit. Mind you, the short was white, but the bow tie and cumberbund were bright grape colored.
I am very happy to see you in much better looking glasses now Victoria.
Happy Anniversary to two of my favorite people! God grant you many many more years!
I meant Kurt. Not Jurt.
Yeah, they were really good potatos. I'll see what I can do.
