Today Ryan and I celebrate our 11th anniversary. Wow. Eleven years! It seems that a lot has happened in the past 11 years. The Lord has been gracious to us in many ways. For one, if it were not for Him we would not be celebrating today.
Our first year of marriage was difficult, to say the least. If it were not for each of our relationships with Christ, and our commitment to him, either of us would have walked away from the other at one point in that first year. We've gone through a couple other 'rough' patches since then, but the Lord continues to show his grace to us.
Eleven years and 3 kids later we have managed to grow closer to the Lord and closer to each other. Ryan is my best friend. He gives me wise counsel, makes me laugh, and thinks I'm pretty. Ryan is my husband, he is my love.
So today I thank the Lord for his grace, mercy and love in our lives. I thank Him for helping me to let go of myself and to trust him with the course of my life. And I thank Him for my husband, whom I love and cherish.
I thank you, Lord, and praise you for the marriage that Ryan and I share today.
Happy Anniversary Ryan!

Happy, happy anniversary. I lift you up in prayer for many, many more years together!
Happy Anniversary! 11 years, that's great!
You two look lovely in that picture. Just lovely.
I remember that day! Our first year of marriage was cake, but everyone around us was telling us how hard it would be. No one warned us about year #3, but we, like you, made it through the grace of Jesus. Happy anniversary! May the Lord bless you with many more!
Happy anniversary to our favorite daughter and our favorite son in-law. May you both continue to grow in your love for each other and the Lord.... with that, you can never go wrong.
I love you sweet girl, God Bless you.
