31 years

31 years ago today, Mr. Richard Eugene Hammond and Mrs. LaRee Sharon Hammond welcomed their first child into the world. A beautiful, sweet baby boy. They went on to raise this boy in the fear and admonition of God and His Word. They taught him everything from God to academics. What they didn't know for the first 15 years of his life, was that God had created him not only to be their son, and a child of God, and a smart and handsome man, but also a husband and a father. God decided before the foundations of the world that He was going to create this man to be my husband and to be the father of my children.
We met when he was only 15 and I was only 18. What a blessing to have met my soul mate at such a young age! We haven't always honored God in our relationship, but God knew what He was doing. I hope that our relationship and how it has changed as we have grown in Him has brought Him glory. We have now been together for 15 years. Haven't always been easy years.. But to be able to say, 31 years ago God created this man to be with me. To love me and care for me. To encourage me and to comfort me. To be my lover and my best friend. God is good and I am so blessed. I love you my husband!!!  Thank you!! Thank you God!! Thank you for my husband!!! Thank you for creating him for me. Thank you for loving me so much that you wanted to give me a man like him. Thank you for all the years in the future that we can have!! Thank you!!
