1st Anniversary & 50th Birthday

On August 11, 2008 Peter and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. We went out to the Buffalo river the night before and camped out by a waterfall. It was beautiful; the weather was perfect. Our first year proved to be just as people say, "a rough year," but that cannot be said without quickly adding that much good and much growth has been woven throughout our first year as well. We are happily married and looking forward to our second year.



Also on August 11 my dad, Mike Scowden, celebrated his 50th birthday! We had a fun little party at my grandmother's house here in Branson. We gave him some of his "favorite things" that have evolved over his 50 years of life -
baseball cards, comics, Culvers, a new study Bible, plus more. He was pleasantly surprised by it all. I love my dad. Looking forward to 50 more years with you, Dad!

Just a word to pass on to Mike. 50 looks good on you! You're seasoned now with good years of adult experience and you and Kathy are just a couple again!
May God continue in the blessings he has gifted you with.

PS..thanks for all the years of great fatherly investment in my lovely daughter-in-law. Our family has been blessed because of you.

Sustaining love is more about the will to love, than the emotion of loving. Both of you possess strong wills which you've learned with God's grace to channel to serve others rather than just self.

Congratulations on your foundational first year!
