Eleven years ago today...

October 4, 1997

Eleven years ago today, I became Mrs. Keith Thompson. It was the best day of my life! We both were just young pups yet...still wet behind the ears. Keith was 22 and I was 21. I look at these pictures and see us still as babies, but at the time of course we knew all and was ready to take on the world together...and that is what we have done!
Keith always likes to joke "Yep...Married 11 years, together for nine", since he was gone for almost two years with the Military. We've learned a lot over the last 11 years, especially through the two that he was gone. I know it sounds silly, but I praise God for those two years. I hope and pray that I fully realize now what the Lord has given me when He joined us as one.

It was a beautiful fall afternoon! All the weeks of planning came together into one wonderful day! It was so awesome this morning pulling out the old white album and fumbling through the dusty pages. Makes for a good morning cup of coffee. I see these pictures of us and then think of our four babies sleeping peacefully up in their beds. We didn't know the blessings that were coming our way!

The Church was full of family and friends!

We had a wonderful reception at the American Legion.

Good times and good memories!

I even had time later in the evening to get in some deer hunting.

I GOT ONE!

Isn't he the cutest buck you've ever seen?

Throughout my young life all I wanted was to be loved fully, deeply and unconditionally. Throughout my adult life I am loved fully, deeply and unconditionally. For who I was, for who I am and for who I will become to be.

Thank you Jesus for answering my prayers!
