Post # 101 and 11 years together- a week of Celebration!

Some of you know that this week was my 11th anniversary! My first marriage, although 21 years long, was not a millionth of the wonderful kindness and joy I experience with my sweetheart.  God certainly had a plan for both of us finding one another.  Some of you also know that Valentine's Day is not a day that we celebrate.  It never was a good time in years past, and as fate would have it, my divorce papers were filed on Valentine's Day of all days! To further the taintings of that day, my father passed on Feb. 12 and was buried on Valentine's Day....SO instead, I like to bring joy to others because I know that for many, it is a painful day in one way or another.

We met on Feb. 19, which is also my father's birthday....so that has become our anniversary day, the most important one and this year marked 11 years.  For Christmas, I was given concert tickets for 'anniversary week,' so on Feb. 15, we headed to Denver to the Paramount Theater to see Sarah McLachlan in concert.  She was incredible and the 4th row seats gave me ample opportunities for wonderful pictures!
