And the Years go Rolling By...

This month my husband and I are celebrating our 25th Anniversary. We are just celebrating quietly on our own, but in our minds it is something big to be proud of and thankful for. We have worked hard over the years... living, being, raising children... and we have many reasons to celebrate 25 years together.

One of our favourite consequences of our decision to share our lives together are our two children. They are healthy, extremely happy, a lot of fun and turning out to be really good friends. This weekend we visited our children in Edmonton and they surprised us with an anniversary gift.

It is a compass for our recently purchased Grand Banks boat. It has our name engraved on the front, and on the back is engraved May you always have calm waters. It is a silver compass and inside the lid is a tiny map of the world. It is beautiful. And will be treasured always.

Thank you to our children :-) It is nice to have them beside us for the rest of the journey.
