This is what we looked like in 1993.
Today is my 13th wedding anniversary and I wanted to take a few minutes and write about the man in my life.
On this date, 13 years ago, I walked down the isle and into the waiting arms of my dear husband. During those 13 years we have had our ups and downs. Yet, he has always stood by my side as I have stood by his. He has given me four beautiful children, a nice home, and worked hard enough that I am able to stay home and be here when the kids leave for school and when they come home.
He has been a huge support to me during my MANY trips to the hospital for various reasons, when I felt like my world was falling apart, when my mom and sister needed a place to live he was willing to let them stay here as long as they needed to. He has NEVER ONCE made me feel like I wasn't special to him. I KNOW that he loves me like Christ loves the church. He ALWAYS puts my needs above his own and that I come second after God. He has shown me more love than I sometimes think I'm worth.
I always find myself wondering how I got so lucky to have a man like him. I am blessed beyond measure when it comes to my husband. I sometimes take him for granted but I know no matter what I do in our marriage, I know that he will always be with me and that we will grow old together.
Marvin, I love you so much and I will always remember what you have done for me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally and supporting me in everything I do. Thank you for your shoulder that I have shed alot of tears on and thank you for providing for me and our children and never asking for anything in return. I am so blessed because of you and I look forward to many more years together and making more memories along the way. Thank you for being a man of integrity and a man of God. Thank you for being a wonderful father to our children, they love you so much. You are the best Dad to them and I know how much you mean to them. Thank you for being a Godly example to Matthew especially, so he will know how to be a Godly husband one day. Happy anniversary honey, I love you very much.

I don't think you've changed much at all. You both still have your wonderful personalities shining out of your faces. Congratulations on your anniversary! I'm so glad I've been blessed to meet both of you.
I agree with Susie, you both look the same. In 50 more years I think Marvin will look identical with white hair (tee hee).
13 years is awesome, congratulations! Way to show your children by example what a marriage should look like. Kuddos to both of you for being godly parents.
I'm with Susie and Karina to. What a lovely " pear ". Congradulations ! I hope you both have many,many more yrs. together under God's arms. And just think this wonderful thought...... I had something to do with it. Say not only " i hear that ".... but give me an " amen " also. Luv ya both.
Congratulations on 13 years!! Marvin is an awesome guy, and you guys are perfect together!
