Fruit, Flowers, Linen or Silk

Today Duncan and I have been married for four years!

It sounds cliched to say that time flies, but it truly does.  It feels like we have been married for only one or two years.

I'm begininng to realise that this blog is a great record of our married life.  We have changed houses, towns, churches and jobs during that time.  We have acquired numerous animals.  We have both grown and changed as people.

The traditional gifts are fruit/flowers or linen/silk (depending on which website you visit).  We haven't always given anniversary gifts, but this year I will say I have been a bit spoilt.

The past four years haven't always been easy.  There have certainly been challenges, but I am always thankful to have Duncan at my side as we walk through them together with our God.

I must say that this was not what I had planned for our anniversary....

I've had an irritated eye for the past few weeks, and after eye drops failed to help, I finally saw the doctor about it today.  He had to numb my eye and remove a piece of dirt from it.  But I had to wear a patch and put up with a blurred vision for a little while.  Sexy!  I feel like a pirate.  Arrrgh!
