    16 Years of Wedded Bliss

    Three days ago Prince Charming and I celebrated our 16th Wedding Anniversary. The years have flown by, years full of love and joy, blessings and sorrows, deep happiness that comes from being married to my Prince. All week I was wooed, it reminded me of the days of our courtship, on Monday I received a lovely card, Tuesday a large box of chocolates, Wednesday 16 roses; 9 were white for our nine blessings.

    Wedding Anniversary and the Big Move!

    Yesterday was our wedding anniversary! Fourteen years of married life together and it has indeed been ‘wedded bliss’. fourteen years ago my Prince Charming and I exchanged our vows to ‘have and to hold’ and set forth excitedly on the journey of our life together. We have grown and learnt so much in those years. Our lives have become infinitely richer and we have certainly been blessed by Our Lord in many ways not the least the gift of eight children. Many changes have occurred including job changes, housing changes and sadly those years have also included the lose of our fathers and some grandparents. All through the years though…
