What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow. ~ Martin Luther

Rebels, together. 18 years.


 18 years ago, despite the urging of Very.Important.People not to marry me, this man did.  What a rebel!

I spent the day of our anniversary looking forward to going on a date and out to eat (!!!) for the first time in almost a year.  Despite getting to the restaurant at the minute it opened and it being entirely empty, they refused to seat us without wearing a worthless mask to walk 6 feet to an empty table in an (again) empty restaurant.  Which is total and absolute malarky.

Taking part in malarky is not what I am about so.....

we left and happily gave our money to a roadside stand that was happy to treat us like people and sell us chicken and pork (sans mask).  We ate it at a park- with a nicer view than the restaurant anyway.  

What rebels we are!!

Thanks for standing for Very.Important.Things, Mister, and thanks for standing with me.

Good for you in leaving the restaurant. Wishing you a Happy Anniversary. One thing we have learned through this is simple is better!

Happy Anniversary! We just celebrated earlier this month. (It's a good month to marry). We stand with you in the rebellion! And you're right--the view, I'm sure, was way better. Restaurants are so overrated, don't you think? We will all have interesting "covid" stories to tell our grandchildren.

Here's to you and Matt, mask-less wonders! ;)

Who could have known 18 years ago, with a scrunch-faced newborn in my arms and so young myself, that the two earnest kids we watched speak vows would grow as fine and mighty together as you have! God is GOOD. He's faithfully brought you through peaks and valleys, and we're blessed to know you both.

May God give you many more years together! <3
