It seemed like yesterday we were in High School and becoming friends, going to the prom, graduating high school, then college. Now we are celebrating 17 years together along with our 7 children that God has blessed us with. We were talking at lunch time and we don't feel worthy of all that God has blessed and given us. It's been a journey of many ups and downs but through all of it our love has grown and our faith has become stronger!
