Happy 39th Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

Today my Parents are celebrating their 39th Wedding Anniversary!!! This is such a blessing and my siblings and I are very proud to have them as our Parents. I often ask them, what did they do to stay married for so long and both of their answers are always A LOT OF PRAYER!!!

My parents marriage is a great example of what a Christian Marriage should be like. They worship together, pray together and attend Bible Study together. My Dad is Deacon in the church and doesn't take his duty as a Deacon lightly and my Mom is a Deaconess who is always there to lend a helping hand. I'm quite sure they have their challenges but their love for one another has never wavered. I pray that my marriage will last just as long and that Keno and I can continue to have the amount of love in our marriage as my Mom and Dad has in theirs!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!! Hope you have a blessed day and many more!!

Loving The Marital Bliss

Yesterday, November 11, 2010, The Browns celebrated four (4) years of marital bliss. I can't believe it's been four (4) years already!!! It seems like we just said "I do" a few months ago. Not only are we married, but we have a little bundle of joy and we're living in a new state!!!

Anniversaries and Birthdays are special times in our household and we love to shower each other with gifts. Leading up to our anniversary we tossed around several gift ideas and could not really settle on anything. So we decided to go along with the Traditional 4th Wedding Anniversary Gift...FLOWERS!! We did our research and found the following:

4th Wedding Anniversary Gifts:

* Traditional Anniversary Gift Ideas: Flowers
* Modern Anniversary Gift Ideas: Linen/Silk

* Travel Anniversary Gifts Ideas: Hawaiian Vacation

Flowers may seem a little boring but there are several ways to give flowers without them being in the form of a traditional bouquet. Pandora has a very nice Flower charm that can be added to a Pandora Bracelet. This was a pleasant surprise from my hubby. Now I have one more charm to add to my bracelet.

Edible Arrangements has flower bouquets made out of fruit. Along with the highly rated and highly anticipated Call of Duty Black Ops, I sent an Edible Arrangement to my hubby. Both of us are enjoying that gift.

These four years have been amazing and we're looking forward to many more.

Loving the marital bliss,
