Three years of friendship, four years of courtship, six months of engagement and ten years married. It is not a very long time but definitely long enough to know someone well :)


This year surely is one significant milestone in our life together - as we rejoice in our sabbath, we also celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Ed always say he never fell in love with me. He grew in love. That growth has deepen through the last decade. This marriage partnership is worth celebrating simply because it was made in heaven. The evidence of the union - beautiful heavenly gifts in different packings... strong and charming Ashlynn, kind and enduring Nathalynn; and adorable and witty Chrisalynn.

Celebration of marriage partnership is a daily affair. But today we took extra effort to reflect on our delightful decade as we took the kids to Jells Park for a run and fresh air while we stole some quiet moments. Dinner for 2 at Sante' Buffet and stroll along Yarra River. What a treat as Peggen and her company babysat the kids. We pledged our love anew.

Tomorrow morning if you wakeup
and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true to the promise I have made To you
and to the One who gave you to me

Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here
