That day eleven years ago was perfect. Blue sky, warm. My wedding day. I was so excited. Who isn't when they are about to get married?? The dress, the flowers, the friends and family. The GROOM! We all scurried about, getting ready. Maybe fifteen minutes before the ceremony was about to begin, someone came in and said it was like a monsoon outside. I didn't believe them but when I looked outside, I saw black clouds, wind, and pouring rain. I didn't love that but oh well. I was getting married anyway. And we did. Despite the rain- which was actually a wonderful thing since we were in a drought that summer. An Irish blessing someone said.
I guess that is typical of marriage, isn't it? Some perfect blue sky days and others where the rain pours and the wind rages. But I tell you, I wouldn't trade a minute of it. God has definitely had some surprises for us and taken us places I never would have even thought of. He has been faithful to us and will continue to be.
He surely gave me such a treasure in Brian.
