It is our anniversary today and we had a great time.  We went to Brown County to the very spot where I proposed to her.  I had bought her a bouquet made out of these unbelievable paper flowers made by a woman we met at a craft show in Nashville.  Amanda had bought a center piece from her last Sunday and I had her card, so I gave her a call.  She made a wonderful bouquet too…and Amanda was SO surprised and so pleased!!

In addition to all this, today was Scotty’s last day at home.  Tomorrow night he will stay in a hotel in preparation for leaving for boot camp on Monday morning.  Steph had asked for permission to come home too, so as Amanda and I arrived at the park to renew our vows, there was Steph, Scott, Ben, her mom, and Father Dan and his wife Merry Ann!  It was a marvelous surprise and one that moved her very deeply!  It has been a day to remember!

But with that, I will end this post.  We are spending time with out family tonight on this last night together for quite some time!  Keep us in your prayers, there is still a bit to go.  But today we thank God for our marriage and our family.  What a wonderful day!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
