STILL together!  Amazing, isn’t it?
And here’s to hoping you and I still will be after posting this picture…
Oh, I’m certain it was great then and all.  I wore blue lame, remember?
But I’m thinking the Louisiana Plantations are going to call wanting that dress back.

Here’s to many more memories together!  May this be your very best year yet.  Never settle for anything less than Christ’s best for you.

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow:  but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

Again, if two lie together, then they have heat:  but how can one be warm alone?

And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Happy 40th, Tracie!

I LOVE YOU!
