This is what I came home to today after lunch. Tony said he wanted to show me something. He pulled up the old Hawaii Five-0 episodes theme song for me to watch. I kept waiting for something to happen and after he played it for me 3 different times, he finally had to keep it on the above picture. I will be turning Five-0 (50) in December on Christmas Day and he is taking me to Hawaii!!!! He wanted to surprise me on my actual birthday but obviously he isn't good about keeping secrets. The Lord continues to shower us with blessings through a couple at our church that has a time share, and we are not going until the end of March. We will have five things to celebrate by then:
1. Cancer Free
2. Jordan's Wedding
3. I'll be "50"
4. A New Grand-baby
5. Our 19th Wedding Anniversary
We've always wanted to go to Hawaii and the Lord willing, it will finally happen. So thankful for the love and patience of my husband through this year's journey. I personally know it isn't easy taking care of your spouse with a disease but thankful to have God's grace to help carry you. We both feel so blessed to have each other and cherish our time together. I am so grateful God brought our paths together and never want to take what we have for granted. I love you Tony Pate!!!!
"Today is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."
