Happy Anniversary!
I love you because of 15 years together.

What a way to celebrate. I spent the day making sauerbraten and german potato salad for your work Christmas party. It was hard work but I want to be a witness for the people at your work. You are one of the few employees who has a wife who is a stay at home mom. I want to be a good reflection of Christ to those who work with you.
I told you that I was not going to do all that work and not get to eat any myself. I made the same dinner for us when I fixed the food for your work. We invited a family over the house for dinner, the Irish's. We had a wonderful evening of fellowship and fun. We all watched a DVD I made to celebrate the day. I included pictures from our married life together. I had such a good time. I thought I was going to be upset by not going out to dinner by ourselves to celebrate but I just prayed that God would give me the right attitude and it ended up being the perfect way to celebrate our 15th anniversary. Do you remember the anniversary you had planned a whole big dinner at home by the fire? I came home from dropping the kids off at your mom's and was so upset. I had wanted to go out to eat and get out of the house. You just wanted to stay at home and celebrate since you are gone all day. What an evening that was with lots of tears on my part and some yelling on both our parts. Boy, we have grown so much in The Lord you and I. I thank God that you have been patient with me. I love you.
