Happy Anniversary to you!
Happy Anniversary, dear Liz and Russell!!!
Happy Anniversary to you!
Today marks the 7th wedding anniversary for my sister and her hubby. They were high school sweethearts and married the fall after they both graduated high school (my sister is a smartie and graduated early!). She was 17 and he was 19. Within a year and a half, Russell had joined the Air Force and they welcomed their first baby into the family - my niece, Allie. At five, she is already very much a young lady and keeps us laughing with all of her witty comments! 16 months later, my nephew Aiden was born. He is a boy through and through and does a great job keeping up with his sister.
I cannot say enough about how inspiring Liz and Russell's marriage is! It certainly isn't perfect, and that is what is amazing. They have faced many difficulties and obstacles, many of them seemingly insurmountable, but time and time again they have found ways to work them. Both have put an incredible amount of hard work into making their marriage successful and becoming the best parents they can be to their children. They are one of the few couples I know who have a realistic view of the hardships that marriage can bring, but are also aware that the rewards of a solid marriage are worth it! I learn so much from them and am so grateful that they have set such a good example.
Here's the most recent family photo I have (from Halloween this year).
By the way, Russell - we're still trying to catch up in number of married years. Maybe one day we'll all be married so long that we lose track and can call it even...
Hahahaha you shall never catch up to us :) Thank you dear, your blog was very thoughtful of you!

She was talking to Allison(Bower-Harmon)about us going to a football game in the northern panhandle of Texas. She said it was going to be freezing and we would turn into icecycles! She said when we got back to Sassy's house she was going to have to crack us with a hammer to get the ice off. Way too funny. Love ya.
