One Texas Mama: 25 Years and Counting.....

Twenty-Five years ago, a 19 year old girl and 20 year old boy, stood before God, family and friends and pledged to love each other till death do us part. Well, hopefully we are nowhere near the end. It's been an amazing 25 years!!!

I've had a few people ask, what's the secret to staying together? I don't know that it is a big secret, but for us, it's been God, each other, kids, then everything else. Has it been like that all the time? No! We mess up, get things out of order, but figure it out and come back together. We also told each other from the beginning that divorce will never be an option. Murder, maybe, but never divorce!! Just kidding!

We spent our anniversary in New Orleans. We had driven through before, but had never stopped. We stayed in the French Quarter. Walked, shopped, ate, walked, listened to some street musicians, walked, ate some more. It was a great few days. We are taking a bigger anniversary trip in March. A cruise to Roatan, Honduras; Belize, and Mexico. So excited to be visiting countries we've not seen before and to do it with friends, Mike and Lisa, who are also celebrating 25 years of marriage. I can't wait!!

So, I will leave you with a few pictures of us through the years and our New Orleans getaway. Enjoy (And don't judge the hairstyles, it was the 80's when we met!!)
