Lucille's

....HAPPILY EVER AFTER.....

A birthday...

and then

an anniversary.....

and then

 Christmas all in a row! 

I am so blessed.

Many of you know the circumstances of my new marriage 4 years ago. (You can check it out here http://mslucille.blogspot.com/2014/09/real-tears-after-27-years-of-being.html )

The sweet little chapel where we pledged our love

I wrote a gripper of a poem to put on the front of our invitation.

If we'd written the script, we'd have been cherished sooner,
hearts protected,
unrejected.

We would have slept sweeter,
safely nested,
souls rested.

We woud have danced.


But if we' written the script, we'd have foiled the plan,
characters confused,
timeline skewed.

We'd have settled for less,
still hoping,
just coping.

Not much of a dance.



Someone else took the pen; He caught us off guard.
all-knowing.
blessings flowing.

Someone else tilled our hearts,
seeds planted,
dreams granted.

A reason to dance.


We ponder the words He's written, their beauty sates our souls.
ending undeserved,
joy unreserved.

We adore the way it's ended,
no more waiting,
souls mating.

It's time for the dance!

May I have this dance for the rest of my life?

Fallish flowers on the tables (Yes, I did them the morning of the wedding....no stress here!)

Did I mention that I made my living room drapes and pillows from the tablecloths I made for my wedding? (Mrs. Thrifty)

 The best part was having dear friends and family celebrate with us.


Kinda thinking we won't make it to our 50th, but thankful for the time God gives us.

 Life was meant to be shared.
