22 Wonderful Years





March 23rd (Easter Sunday) will be Joanna and my 22nd Anniversary. I have been so blessed with the opportunity to spend these years with such a wonderful wife. Since the next few weeks will be extremely busy for us, we decided to take off for one night and spend some time together up north in Okinawa. We were thankful that the Bible College students did not tear the house apart while we were gone! Just kidding! It was great to spend time reflecting on the beautiful years that we have had together.

Tommy & Joanna,
Happy double deuce!!! Glad to see you guys enjoyed time together up north, you deserve it! Praise God for the marriage you've been blessed with. You guys are a powerful witness in a time where marriage has lost it's identity in the world. In the words of Tommy, be blessed!

Love from 6'8"
