We went...... and thanks for the anniversary wishes. We went out to eat at a local Italian restaurant and it was very good... toooooo good! Then we came home and had dessert with some of the family. (I made Doug's favorite, peach and apricot deep dish pie.) But Doug and I were too full to eat ... we had the Italian dessert tiarmisu, it was so rich, we shared a small piece together.<BR/><BR/>Then... to end the day we went shopping to Walmart! lol I got new red slippers and he got new "gramppa" slippers. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again ((((Ladies!)))))Connie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823945953153064691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459417.post-1158952740683013882006-09-22T11:19:00.000-08:002006-09-22T11:19:00.000-08:00I can't believe that we won't remember the friends...I can't believe that we won't remember the friendship we had while on Earth. <BR/><BR/>I watch the loons here on the lake sometimes. There are usually only two on the lake all summer. Occasionally, there will be one or several more that show up out of no where and the loons will swim up to each other like they haven't seen each other for so long. I alway like to think that their offspring are coming back to say hi. They nod their heads, swim up to each other, swim in circles while making all kinds of loony noises. <BR/><BR/>They are just birds... but we... Christ died for! I think we will remember the close friendships. We won't need each other like we do here on Earth, but we will definitely be friends without all the ugly sides of us.<BR/><BR/>I like to imagine myself exploring the new Earth with Doug. I think we will! <BR/><BR/>I also think I will have created a beautiful Garden (since He is a Creator and we are created in His image, I will create too!). The garden will be perfect, and smell so awesome, so that when Christ walks by He will be so very pleased!<BR/><BR/>And this is what I think... and the Bible says that Heaven will be even way more than I can possible think or imagine!!!!! <BR/><BR/>I am rambling...Connie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03823945953153064691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459417.post-1158921689131704042006-09-22T02:41:00.000-08:002006-09-22T02:41:00.000-08:00Happy Anniversary!!!!

As much as I look forward to heaven and being with Jesus, it's hard to comprehend that in the bible it says that our relationships won't be like marriage as we know it on earth. I realize it must be better then but still, I'm saddened to think it'll be different. I'm sure it's because I can't grasp it with my finite mind that has no other point of reference. LIFE IS GOOD!!!Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748558090320737035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459417.post-1158884174051781562006-09-21T16:16:00.000-08:002006-09-21T16:16:00.000-08:00Happy Anniversary!

I hope that Michael and I are as happy as you and Doug are to be together when we reach 33 years.<BR/><BR/>You two are a great example to your kids. May God continue to bless the both of you. :o)Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07092696049502701851noreply@blogger.com
