Happily Six Years After

I mentioned on our last anniversary that we weren’t taking many photos of ourselves since having kids. I’m pleased to report that we have increased the frequency of photos for Jenni and me this year, especially since our a-photo-a-week project is themed around our married life.

I recently came back from a trip where there was a celebration of 60 years of marriage. 60 years! I certainly look forward to and hope that Jennilyn and I will share so many great years together. Even for six years, I cannot begin to count the blessings, grace, and love from God as He orchestrates in our lives.

Garage Band

Our uncommon overture with an accordion and trombone. Our album will be available someday.
We are both blessed with parents who love music. Though our instruments are not what you’d consider complementary, we can love each other in harmony.

Out Of The Mouths Of Babes

One recent morning when I wasn’t feeling well, Kadie said, “We could go to your room. You should do your exercises.”

He Brings Me Flowers

Flowers
David knows how much I enjoy flowers; especially when I’m in need of some cheer. But then the poor guy sneezes until he’s miserable. Love hurts, right? I think that after six years of marriage, I might have convinced him that I thoroughly enjoy them even when I set them outside the window. Nice thing is, they last quite a bit longer out in the cool air.

Live Life Anyways

Insomnia

David married me back when I wasn’t sure I would be able to be much of a wife to him. I was bed-ridden quite a bit and David carried a pillow around for me everywhere we went, and, occasionally, carried me when I couldn’t walk. Thankfully, I am WAY better than six years ago, but I am still dealing with my chronic pain, insomnia, and recently rediscovered, parasite issues. I thought they were gone, but I guess not.

Seriously

Playing with the iPad 2's photo booth at the Apple Store

Not taking life too seriously is a balance Jenni brings to our marriage. I tend to be all business and no play. I’ve learned to enjoy the journey and not focus solely on getting to a destination from Jenni.

We had a mini-date while my parents watched the kids and we struck a balance of getting some exercise walking around a mall and stopping by the Apple store so that I could check out the iPad 2 some more. While I’m fascinated by the Garage Band app, well, you call tell which app got Jenni’s imagination.

Hillsboro Symphony Orchestra Concert

A good friend of mine, Tiffany, asked me to record her solo in her orchestra concert. This was a special event because trombones rarely have solos. It brings me back to my own experiences of sitting in the back of Clark College’s Orchestra, counting 90 measures and then trying to hit a clear, high C… “Ta TAAAAAA!”

Massage Therapy

Foot massage

David has always been very healing to me. His frequent foot massages helps my head pain disappear for a while. I’m so blessed to have a husband who is so generous with his love to me.

Swingin’

Dancing at the Norse Hall

Dancing was, is, and will always be one of the pillars of our marriage. We met through dancing, competed together, and served on the board of our dance community. Good times then and to come.
