2 Years!!!!!!

Well, yesterday was our 2 year anniversary!  We knew when we were looking at dates that a summer wedding would make celebrating our anniversary difficult.  When Summer is in full swing there just isn’t time to get away.  We have tried though to do something special that day like go out to eat or something.  This year though celebrating our anniversary was a little more difficult.  Daniel was busy with Day Camps and Executive Director stuff, and I was 1200 miles away at a camp in Michigan with Victor and Linda Schiro.  Daniel being the stud that he is, made plans with Vic and Linda over a week ago to make sure I got flowers for the special day.  And I thought I was reminding him so he wouldn’t forget!  Silly me.  I did get Dan an anniversary present, he just has to wait till I get back before he gets it. 

When a couple is involved in camping ministry it can be difficult to set aside time for events with the family.  Everything that happens at camp is so important – we only have these kids for a week!  As a camp wife it’s important to be understanding and supportive of your husband so you are not the reason he feels guilty about doing his ministry. There are sacrifices that are made on time, eating a meal, going to church or even celebrating your anniversary together.  For all the sacrifices that are made – it is worth it, I think.  God has given us the ability and the opportunity to impact thousands of kids and adults each summer through our camps, and the groups who use the campground.  And if that means less time with my husband, so be it.  Life isn’t about me anyway – it’s about God’s will and his purposes.
