Twenty years ago, Rachel and I tied the knot and entered into Holy Matrimony.
It’s been a wild and wonderful two decades. We’ve lived in multiple different states and a foreign country, and we had 12 children together, one of which was taken home at only a few weeks gestational age. We’ve seen successes and failures, dealt with some crazy challenges, been painfully poor at points and quite comfortable at others… and we’ve always been in love.
I can’t imagine being with anyone else. Here’s to another twenty years (at least!).
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the gift of a good wife.
Thank you, Rachel, for being my best friend and companion.
I love you more than life itself.

A good wife is from the Lord.
Congratulations on 20 years married! I assume you were probably already together a few years longer unless y’all got hitched quickly. Nothing like having the person you love and making a family with that person. Truly a gift from God to help us in this life. Hopefully y’all get to do something nice together or for each other today. I guess caring for and watching the children grow together is God’s gift to y’all not just today but everyday.
Couldn’t imagine not having my wife and 2 kids. I’ve only got 12 years married and 16 years together. Still a long time though. Considering our age of getting together, 17 and 18, that’s good for our generation gap. Don’t think it’ll come to an end ever. We are still very much in love.
Package was sent off yesterday. Hopefully you can make use of some of the seeds in there. Still got bunches of species I could send eventually. Emailed you the tracking number. Wanted to include some more stuff but had more packages to pack and there’s always next time. In the spring if you want a surprise box of random species I can send another along. Threw those cuttings you’ll find in there because I was trimming the vine for another person’s order and figured I’d just throw some in yours. Not sure what variety it is but they are pretty good. Neighbors had it in their yard for a very long time.
Congratulations to you and your lovely wife! Many wishes for a wonderful day!
Congratulations! 3 Aves for your anniversary!
Congratulations! 20 years seems like a long time, but they go by so quickly.
Congratulations on your anniversary and the wonderful family you and Rachel have developed!
Congratulations! What a blessing to be together for so long and have so many beautiful children.
Congratulations David and Rachel! As always, happy to follow your successes and failures…. Without those readings I would not be as inspired to keep trying new and different things and techniques… Those that work out and those that dont… I learn from them. That’s the important part. Thank You both!

Happy Love Day, to Rachel and you!
[years ago, one of my daughters gave us a hand made card and said “I can’t spell anniversary, so Happy Love Day!”
Family culture, now.]
Congratulations!
Congrats!
My grandparents celebrated their 75th anniversary in October.
If the world is still around fifty five years from now, I hope you will be telling the story of all your years together and the funny stories of raising your children and grandchildren.
I don’t know what type of technology will exist but I know God has given you the gift of story telling and presenting things in an interesting way.
The world needs to see the godly example you two have lived. Now and in the years to come.
Happy anniversary!!!
