Christmas has always held a special meaning in my heart. This time of year brings up feelings of love, family, and togetherness.
One of my favorite Christmas memories took place eight years ago, on December 18, 2001. My wedding day!
That day started off with John and I heading to the courthouse to get our marriage license. While we waited our turn, we spent our time working on our Christmas cards. The first time I wrote my married name was when I signed our Christmas cards.
That evening, we were married in our home, in front of our Christmas tree. We had only two guests, two of our closest friends who served as witnesses. Oh, I can’t forget our oldest, John III, who was only two years old at the time.
It wasn’t a big celebration with tons of guests and mountains of presents, but it was OUR celebration 🙂
So, not only am I celebrating the spirit of Christmas around this time of year, but I’m also celebrating the anniversary of my wedding! So, Happy Anniversary, John! I love you!
