BFF's Birthday

This is what he looked like when we first met in 1969 except he had a little more hair......well, really, a lot more hair!!  (Think a young Justin Bieber's hair...only thicker)  He was 20 years old.  I loved him from the start!   He was smart, funny, very shy and very mature for his age!


This was our third year of marriage around 1974.   We were 25 years old.


This was made in 1976.  Kelly was 2 1/2 and Chris was about 3 months old.  Steve was 27 years old.


OK, I skipped MANY years ahead....... This was years ago in Dallas but obviously all have "grown up"!




Here's Steve now and he is known as "Papa" these days!  Less hair, but still smart, funny, still shy and I love him more with each year that goes by!   Today is his 63rd birthday ( he finally caught up to me!!) and he is the best husband, father and Papa I could have ever dreamed of!  He loves the Lord with all his heart and he loves me and his family.  We are all blessed!

Happy Birthday Steve!!

Beautiful photos for us to enjoy. So nice to see families that are still loving and committed after many years of marriage. Harper really looks like Kelly in the 3rd picture. Thanks for sharing!

Also, thanks so much for the comments on by blog about the girls' Hog dresses. I had them made by Bizzy Bee Quilts. It is a mother/daughter sewing team.
