Ten years ago today, we stood, looking quite like children (and thinking like them too!), and pledged our covenant vows to one another. Little did we know how far our journey would take us in these ten short years!
God’s grace still amazes me…to have given me such a man as you are! So full of strength, and calmness and an unwavering determination to love me unconditionally…to lay down your life for me, just as Christ did for His bride. I don’t deserve you.
To our children, you are their every dream. Our daughters can only pray to be blessed with a husband like their daddy; and our sons, praise His name, have a most incredible example to follow before they hold their own little ones.
Where do we go from here?
How about our front porch rocking chairs…holding hands, and dreaming about the next ten years!

What a sweet tribute!
Congratulations Kelly! My husband and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary a few days ago on the 15th 🙂 I teared up reading your tribute.

(Who has been blessed far beyond what I deserve with a wonderful, godly husband as well – and the Lord continues to bring us even closer together. 🙂

My Goodness! Our 10th anniversaries were only a day apart! Today is mine and my husbands.
You look like KIDS!
Blessings to you. I am proud to call you both my friends!
How old is your oldest?
She is fourteen…yes, born out of wedlock–4 years old when we married.
The Lord has surely given me beauty for ashes!

Congrats on 10 years together! What a beautiful couple you guys are and it is so beautiful to hear your praise of such a godly husband! I’m sure he feels blessed to have a wife with so much godly wisdom as well!:)
Happy Anniversary! How wonderful to read how God has blessed you.

Happy Anniversary! My hubby and I celebrated our 10th last August. Blessing to you!
This is long after the original post, but (in my journey through the archives here) I just had to comment on what a beautiful tribute you wrote. It should be on a greeting card that I can give to my husband for our 25th anniversary next month! Everything you wrote about Aaron I could say about my husband.
Thank you for the reminder, Kelly, of what a blessing from the Lord a godly man is!
