So Glad for 44 Years

This is the anniversary card I made for my husband.  44 years.  No, they weren't all bliss.  Many were just plain horrible.  But we had made a promise to each other and before God and by His grace and help, we made it through those terrible years.  Now we are so very glad we "toughed" it out and each year that passes we are healing and truly enjoy each other again. So very thankful God helped us "find" each other so long ago and so very thankful we kept our promise.
This is a digital in a set by  Doodle Pantry called Detective Sheep.  It is so cute and has so many images, sentiments, and papers  that go together.  Check it out and go to Doodle Pantry's Blog to play the challenge and receive the Scuba Sheep set just for playing.

    Congratulations to you and your husband Marsha! 44 years is such an accomplishment. Love your card. I would have never thought to use the sheep as an anniversary card. We will be celebrating 35 this June. Everyone goes through trials in their marriage and I'm so glad that you weathered it through.
