Happy Anniversary to my husband.  We are celebrating our 24th year of being married today!  It has been an adventure of living first in a studio apartment in Anaheim, to coming to Japan and having Rachel and Alex, to moving back to Corona and buying our first home.  We both got jobs in Corona and raised our kids, first at Highland and then at McKinley and another move for Alex in fourth grade to Wilson.  We lived in a nice house in a cul de sac.
Januck has been patient and loving to me for all the years we have been together.  He has been a great father, as well.  The kids were fortunate to have their Dad as their Math teacher at Raney Intermediate School for 6th-8th grades.  He has always known my love for Japan and has supported us returning to Japan.  It hasn't always been easy being here with the language barrier and cultural differences, but we have had to depend on God and each other to help us through the years.
Living in Japan has brought us closer together as a couple.  We can always experience new foods and places, through geocaching and traveling as a family.  I really think the adventures we have been on these last 24 years have been exciting and someday our kids will value them as much as we do today.
I remember Rachel saying she is happy she has parents that have been married so long,   I hope she knows how much I love her Dad.  Alex, in first grade wrote about how he knew Dad loved me because of the way he looks at me.  Sweet!
I am looking forward to more years with my honey wherever we might be in the future!
