Today, February 24, is Bruce and my 30th wedding anniversary!  I can't believe it - where did all this time go?  My husband and I just look at each other and laugh.  How did 30 years go by so quickly? 

I was thinking today about how we made it and I have to admit that a lot of the credit goes to my husband!  Here are my top 10 reasons:

1. Our faith in God.
   
2. We made a commitment when we got married that this was forever and we stuck to it.
3. We respect each other.
4. Bruce thinks before he talks!  This is a biggie and I should learn from him.
5. Bruce listens, really listens to me - before he goes into fix-it mode.
6. We are best friends.
   
7. We laugh.
8. We like to do the same things but we also enjoy our 'alone' time - especially me!
9. We trust each other.
10. Our faith, marriage, and our five children are our top priorities.
11. I just had to have 11!  We are truly grateful for each other.

Another great event in February was Micah's 17th birthday on Valentine's Day.  We are so blessed to have him as a son.

  
   30 years and counting!           On Micah's 17th birthday

 
I had a great month in February speaking to a variety of groups.  Twice I spoke to "Go Red for Women" events and it was a lot of fun looking out over the audience and seeing all the red.  Some ladies really got into it and every possible article of clothing was red!  I was glad I had a red sweater to wear for these events!

Have a fabulous March!  I know I can't wait as we've had a long cold winter.  It is time for some sun!
