Happy Anniversary to the love of my life

I wrote this note to Lyle right after we were engaged. For our anniversary this year Lyle put it in a card he gave me. He has kept it in his wallet for all these years. Isn't this so SWEET!?!
Celebrating twenty three years of marriage! This picture was taken on our trip to Cancun this past Spring. I guess we got to celebrate early because Lyle worked so hard to earn the trip!

Its hard to believe 23 years have gone by already! God has truly blessed me with the perfect helpmate in you Lyle! What I love most about you is your love and commitment to God, and your desire to know Him deeper every day. You have been the most influential person in my life, as to what it looks like to spend time alone with God, by your daily example. Your actions have spoken volumes to me and the kids over the years. Thank you for loving our Savior with all your heart! I met the man of my dreams finding not only a godly man, but one who loved to sing as much as I did. Remember one of our first dates singing "Tom the Toad"? What about the songs we sang to each other at our wedding? I still enjoy hearing you sing in the morning after your quiet time, as much or more as I did when we were first married.

Two young hearts grow up and become one flesh!
Happy anniversary Lyle! Thank you for 23 wonderful years together! I love you so very much! Linda
