I have been blessed...
The Toby Keith concert we went to about 4 weeks ago. These photos were taken that night.
This is the place that Steve asked me to marry him. He brought up the fact that there are now sunflowers there.
Today has sure been a good day. I woke up thinking...Steve will be home tonight. He has been away this week in Sedona. He has a project going on up there. I was driving home from running errands today. I started thinking about Steve. I have now known him just about 24 years!!! Isn't that amazing! In January we have been married 23 of those 24 years. We did get married very young. I was 18, 3 weeks shy of 19! That doesn't even sound like me! I know that Heavenly Father knew what was right. So needless to say Steve, and I have been thru so much together. We have many many wonderful memories!One of my goals in this life is making memories. Memories,are what it is all about to me. We also have some memories that have ruffled our world. Illnesses, stitches, heart break, broken bones, broken hearts, loss of family members, cancer scares, and many more memories that can either make a relationship suffer, or gain strength. We have been blessed to have one another. We also have been blessed with 4 wonderful blessings in our life's. Well, now we have 5, with Dessie, Ben's wife. It felt so good driving thru Mesa, and Gilbert today. It gave me time with no interruptions. I had time to reflect. I know with all of my heart that if I follow Heavenly Father's plan that all of these wonderful blessings that play a huge role in my life daily, will be with us forever. What more could I ever want? I feel blessed, and much gratitude.

I just love reading your blog Michelle b/c it really helps me to ponder on the things you write about. It's amazing .. marriage and relationships. :)
Glad you were able to get out and enjoy some fun! Toby Keith is fabulous. You and your husband are a very handsome couple. Sometimes you just look at someone and can match them right up to who you would put to be their spouse and I'd match you two for sure!
