12/29 Happy Anniversary

Today Jerry and I have been married for 18 years. Can you believe it? 18 years ago today at 2pm Jerry and I were married at the First Christian Church in Tuscola. But what an awful weekend it was for us. Here is a reminder of what happened. On Friday the 28Th, we were at Jerry's mom's house finishing up last minute things before the wedding. I went to leave in Jerry's car and got it stuck in some snow. Jerry was coming outside to get the car out of the snow. He slipped on some ice on the front porch and fell. He hit his head on the concrete and he had a concussion. Unfortunately he missed his bachelor party:) The next morning, there was a lot of snow on the ground and it was foggy all day. The wedding was awesome despite the weather. That night after the reception, Jerry and i went to Mattoon to stay overnight in a hotel. When we went out the next morning to get into the car, it was iced over. Jerry went to unlock the car and the key broke off in the lock. The spare key was in the trunk in my purse (great place for it)We called a locksmith to come unlock the door, but the only thing he managed to do was break the window. So now we had a broken key, broken window and it was freezing rain outside. So we got the spare key from the truck and drove back to Tuscola with no window and freezing rain. Needless to say we were both very sick the following week. But here we are 18 years later and we look back on that day and have to laugh. So here is to 18 years of marriage with the most wonderful person in the world my husband, my best friend and most of all the father of my children. I love you infinity!
