In June 2016 we sold Cedar Pond and moved over the mountains and far away. We now live in Deer Park , WA where the weather is a bit more extreme than Cedar Pond's and in spite of the challenges we're rejoicing in life in our new home with field and forest just outside our back door. God is so good to us !

Decades Of Love ! Happy Anniversary Jim ~
I have been married to the man of my dreams for almost 4 decades. I have known him that long. We were high school sweethearts, and married while we were both in college and working part time jobs to support ourselves. My beloved was still going to college and working two jobs when our first born , our daughter Autumn , joined our family. Shortly thereafter our two sons were born and we were still working part-time jobs , my husband was still attending his college classes.
I am amazed when I look back on our lives to see how hard my husband worked for us ( often 2 jobs at a time), and still took time to play with our children, help me out with the children, keep up our home, and enjoy many simple yet rewarding family times, the times that count in the grand scheme of things that matter. My husband also made sure we were at church every Sunday morning, often helping out at church too.He supported our homeschooling the children in a time when home-schooling was unheard of and friends and family were not so supportive. Without the quiet strength and love of my husband, my beloved, I do not think we would have fared as well and God was so kind and gracious to me to give me my Jim. Happy anniversary Jim, I love you.~

what a beautiful story. the photograph of you two all dressed up is amazing. jim so handsome and you so pretty. you have both been blessed by each other. i just look at the results and know that GOD has been by your side all the way.

Happy Anniversary to you both, Kathy! What a sweet post and wonderful story. :-)
Lots of people have decades" of love, but few of us have decades of love to one person. That is truly being dedicated to the vows we made to each other and before God.
Jim and Kathy, Happy Anniversary, you two! God has truly blessed your marriage and your children. You have such a lovely family. "all because two people fell in love" AND because your lives were lived for the Lord. I applaud you both for your commitment! Have a happy time together!
