Happy 27th anniversary!!!

Yea, it's my mom and dad's 27th anniversary today! Think about that! I think that is really awesome. Happy anniversary!

These are picks from their wedding day - March 10 1979. Yup, it was a double wedding! My mom's brother, Gulli, married her friend, Birna, the same day. Here's the funny thing - both bridegrooms have the same name: Guðlaugur called Gulli!

God has blessed me with great parents! I can confide in them, seek their advice and basically do whatever! Goofing off with my whole family is so much fun. Back to my parents though. They are a great example to me and what they have in each other and their relationship is a gift from God. I want that kind of relationship - a relationship where God is at the centre, where praying together is natural. Those are things that are very important... at least to me :o)

I don't think I thank God enough for my family... I should do that! I take too many things for granted, sometimes even the people that are most important to me.

I thought it was appropriate to end this post with a few verses from the Bible:

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

Ephesians 5:25-33
