Frog in the throat



I just got an email that my beloved sister is celebrating her fifth wedding anniversary. That feat, in this day and age, is something to be celebrated by itself. The fact that she is having to celebrate it with Tony halfway across the world is a shame. Tony is still in Afghanistan fighting and serving you, me, and everyone in this beloved country. Who knew my lil' sister could be so eloquent.

The email was a confirmation of her comment on yesterday's post. I wanted to bring her comment to the forefront of my blog because it deserves to be on the front page. Congratulations, Mandi and Tony. I love you both. Here's to fifty more.


Your sister has been married for 5 years as of May 19th, 2008! Can you believe it, and here I type on my brother's "theMarriedYears", blog. Who would have guessed? I hope you and Karen in five years can look back on your marriage and think the same as I do about mine. ~ I am blessed to have found the one man who completes that of me which is not whole. I am blessed to have found someone that has surpassed my thoughts of what a husband should be. I am blessed to have a comfortable life in which I do not want for anything. I am blessed that my girls will grow up to know they do not have to settle for less in a man; they will see what a true man is through the eyes of my husband. I am blessed to be with the one man I look forward to growing old with.~

I couldn't have said it better myself, and I can only hope to have it as good with my future wife.
