HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, CHUCK

Today, September 29, 1973, Chuck and I were united in marriage, for a journey of a lifetime. It is so hard to believe that it has been 36 years already. Where does the time go. It seems like yesterday in my mind, that I walked down the aisle, to say I DO. It was a beautiful day for the wedding. While we were partying at the reception it rained a bit. My grandmother told me that was a good OMEN, when it rains on your wedding day. I guess she was right. My love for him has never died, it just has gotten stronger over the years. Yes, I will tell you it hasn't been all peaches and cream, but I made a vow to God, Chuck, and to myself, to death do us part. We have gone through riches and poorer, through sickness and health, and next will be, death do us part.

To all, that reads my blog, I want you to know that marriage is one of the hardest "WORK" I think we have to do in our lives, if you want it to succeed. There are times, I thought to myself, is it all worth this effort and wanted to give up or give in, but I believe that when you say your vows to your spouse in the eyes of God, it is forever, no matter what. I'm sure that Chuck has felt this too, but I can only speak for myself.

To another 36 years!

I love you a whole bunch!

HAPPY 5th ANNIVERSARY, TOM & STEPHANIE

Today, August 31st is my son, Tom & his wife Stephanie's, 5th wedding anniversary. Wow, I can remember that beautiful day like it was yesterday. They were married in the beautiful Allentown Rose Garden on this very day. The flowers were so lovely for the beautiful setting. They were married by a woman minister inside a gazebo with all their family and friends surrounding them.

Today their happy family has grown to four beautiful children from their love for one another.


Congratulations to you both for reaching this milestone in your life.

We all love you,

Mom & Dad Jarrell
