I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirl under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

5 Years!!

Happy Anniversary Anth! (tomorrow) I truly can't believe that we've been together for 5 wonderful years! You have become my confidant, my listener, my shoulder to cry on, my lover, my rock, my children's father, my beacon, my best friend. I love you more today than the day I fell in love with you. It's not be the gushy-lovey-dovey kind of love, it's unconditional. It's forever. I am so glad that you have chosen me to spend eternity with! I love you Honey!!

You two are so awesome and we always have such a good time when we are with you. Thanks for the yummy cookies even though they are not on our weight watchers diet!!!! I think I left that Lasange or however the hell you spell it recipe at your house! So email me it when you get a chance. I'm excited to make it! Can't wait for 2 weeks from tomorrow. Love ya
