I just returned from Sin City! Viva Las Vegas, where the good times roll! The party till you drop and dice rolling town. It is a one of a kind place. A place to go for gambling, drinking, dancing, eating, enjoying shows, drinking, sightseeing, and more gambling.
And I absolutely hit the jackpot! I am rich, rich, rich!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, you are thinking money, aren't you? I went to fabulous Las Vegas to celebrate my fifteenth wedding anniversary to my incredible, romantic, devoted husband! I didn't actually hit the jackpot in Las Vegas this weekend. I hit the jackpot when I met and married Kevin! Don't misunderstand, I don't consider it luck that I married Kevin. I don't like the word- luck. I don't believe in luck, except maybe when you are gambling because of the odds of where the dice will land. When it comes to the life of a Christian, I believe in blessings from God! And boy, God answered all my prayers and more when he brought Kevin into my life! He is so good to me that sometimes I don't feel like I deserve him.
I find it so absolutely mind-blowing when I look back on my life through high school, then college, then living on my own, to see what God has done. It shouldn't be mind-blowing. If I had trusted Him all along, it wouldn't be surprising, maybe. I guess it's the fact that many years I didn't trust God, and He was and still is abundantly faithful to me!
Kevin and I didn't gambling much. We spent about $20 on the slot machines. We didn't stay out partying all night in the clubs. We get the "Most Boring Couple" in Sin City last weekend. But, we had a blast! I am rich in blessings! I am rich in love! I am rich in life! God has blessed me with a huge treasure!
Kevin, thanks for your inexpressible gift of love and commitment to me over the last fifteen years! The weekend and "the gift" was great, too!

Hi Peg... What a sweet post! Congratulations on your fifteen years together. It's so refreshing to read that a couple is still happy together. :o) It's good to see you posting again--I come here each day to see if you've posted something new because I really enjoy your writing. God bless... Debra
Thank you, Debra! You are so sweet! I appreciate someone reading my blog! I have sent an email to several of my friends but I don't think they are in to the blogging scene quite yet!

I'm sitting in a hotel room away from my beautiful wife, Peg, and I have seemed to forgotten my password. So "Anonymous" is really Kevin. I really enjoyed our time away together. I wanted to quote a few verses from the Bible to you that sums up what I have learned from you over the last 15 years. But I never seemed to find the right moment to voice them, so I will write them.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Love is waking up every morning with my first thought of you and falling asleep at night dreaming of you. Love is your laughter, your smile, your humble devotion to your three boys. Love is knowing that I will spend the rest of my life being your husband. Love is having you as my wife, my partner, my best friend.
Life is not good. Life is Great!
Love, Kev
Peg, you are blessed to have found someone wonderful! Congratulations on the first 15 together. May the years together only get better from here on out.
Thank You, Michelle!!!!! I appreciate your kind words.
