Happy Anniversary!

Today, TJ and I are celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe we have been together for that long! The Lord has been gracious to us, and apart from Him, I do not think TJ and I would have lasted as long as we have.

As you may know, I met TJ when I was 19 and we married when I was 20. Some say I was too young, but I disagreed then and I disagree now. I don’t think you can put an age on marriage. Sure, when my children are old enough to marry, I would PREFER them to wait until after college and they are more established, but no one can say that 22 or 25 or even 30 is the “right” age to marry. I believe it is based on the individual and where s/he is at in her/his walk with the Lord.

We have a fun day planned. We are headed to Carowinds for some much-needed adult-time on the rides and in the waterpark. After, we have dinner plans at The Cheesecake Factory. I’ve never been there but I’m looking forward to it! Plus, we leave for our cruise in only 4 weeks- 29 days to be exact! I am so excited! Our beach trip really pumped me up for our cruise to Bermuda. 7 glorious days in warm, tropical weather! I can’t wait!

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 places I have been or would like to go. . . 1. Santiago, Chile, South America This was my first trip when I was in the military. It was awesome! 2. Virginia Beach, Virginia, U.S. Traveled here with the military. I had a great time, although I only stayed for a few nights. It was too cold to swim in the ocean but it was nice to see the beach. 3. Palermo, Sicily, Europe This is my family's roots. My great-grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Palermo, and it was so awesome to be able to share in my heritage. I traveled here while in the military, and I loved every bit of this country. Mt. Etna is also located in Sicily, and on several occasions (I've been to Sicily several times), Mt. Etna was erupting. It was majestic to see, especially at night. Too many highlights to say what my favorite part of this country was, but the memories I hold will definitely last a lifetime. 4. Rota, Spain, Europe Again, traveled here with the military.

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 jobs I have held. . . 1. Special Olympics Swim Coach Best job ever and very rewarding! 2. Preschool/Youth swim instructor My first job (I volunteered until I got hired on at the Y, then I was paid.) 3. Lifeguard This was my first paid job. 4. Crew Chief/aircraft mechanic on the KC-10 I loved it- I saw the world on this plane and pushed myself the farthest mentally and physically I ever have or ever will again. Of course I missed my family and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. 5. Debrief personnel I talked with aircrews after they landed about their flight/mission. I learned the logistical side of flying. 6. Tool Crib personnel I gave the mechanics tools for various jobs needed to fix the airplane. I also inventoried and ordered new tools, and that was fun. Until this job, I had no idea that tool companies have a representative drive around in a truck full of tools for people to use and try. It was during t
