August 7, 2009 my hubby and I celebrated five glorious years in the Lord! We decided to make the day exciting and celebrate by agreeing to surprise each other. We each would have one hour to blindfold the other, take them in the car to a special place, and have a surprise waiting. Well...Patrick surely knocked my socks off!! I went blindfolded into the car for a joyous car ride like none other i had experienced. He went in circles trying to confuse me :) When we "arrived" I found myself standing in our little chapel just like 5 years ago, with a beautiful bouquet of calla lillies. We were re-commiting our vows! There to perform the ceremony was our friends, Denny & Cindy, how precious to share this beautiful event. We took communion with our Lord Jesus Christ and even had a moment to, "kiss the bride!" It was beyond meaningful to me!!
Then it was my turn to blindfold Patrick! I took him to our reception hall where we had our first dance, we danced to it again, and also read some meaningful things I have learned about him within the past five years!!!
We concluded the night with a wonderful meal at Mario's Bistro. Our night was seamless and perfect. All glory to our successful marriage goes to God, who has been our "glue". The Holy Spirit working in our lives is overwhelming to see and experience, what an amazing God we serve!!
