“Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favorite”. – Unknown

In the about me blurb on this blog, it says, “Liane is married to the love of her life, Dan.” That’s for real.  Just ask my kids.  They will tell you, mom married the love of her life.

I am so thrilled to be spending my life standing beside and supporting Dan as his wife. He still makes my heart skip a beat when he comes home each day and he is an amazing father to our two daughters. He is honest and caring, patient and loving, strong and encouraging.

No, he is not perfect. “There is no such thing as a perfect man or a perfect marriage. But the one I have is absolutely perfect… for me.” – Happy Wives Club

We have been through a lot together. A lot happens over 23 years. I’m so glad to be able to say that we are closer than ever and stronger than ever together as a couple.

Thinking about Dan and I together in the river in February of this year, still makes me cry to this day. Dan saved my life. When I couldn’t get out of the river on my own, Dan came back for me.  It sounds like a well, duh, kind of moment, but it’s not to me. Dan suffers from chronic back pain that is made worse when he gets a chill of any kind in his back and he had seriously injured his right shoulder only a couple of weeks before we ended up in the river together. He wasn’t able to lift anything with his right arm and had spent more time with his arm in a sling than out of a sling in the two weeks before the river accident.

Even though he was hurt, and even though he was freezing cold, he came back for me, and God literally provided strength that Dan did not have as he used his right arm and shoulder to pull me to safety through a current that was trying to take me away from him. Dan is my knight in shining armor.

I am so glad to have been blessed with a husband who follows God and leads our family to do the same.

We are 23 years into this marriage and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Like Shania Twain sang, “You’re still the one I run to, the one that I belong to, you’re still the one I want for life.”

Happy Anniversary my love!
