It brings you up slowly then shoots you like a rocket towards the ground
It twists you and it shakes you before it turns you upside down
You can't see what's around the corner
And you can't look back, so just live it up and feel the rush
Life is a roller coaster ride
Time turns the wheel and love collides
Faith is believing you can close your eyes and touch the sky
So shine while you have the chance to shine
Laugh even when you want to cry
Hold on tight to what you feel inside and ride
(Performed by: Martina McBride; Songwriters: Michael Davey, Andrew Dorff, Chris Robbins)
Joe and I spent a special Saturday together at World's of Fun. All by ourselves. It WAS fun. We rode roller coaster rides together. We are good roller coaster buddies. I was reminded of this good song sung by Martina McBride, and that life IS a roller coaster ride. We find that our strengths and weaknesses work well together as we continue to learn to climb and soar, jolt and weave through the twists and turns, lurches and loops and screeching halts of our life together.

Happy 12th Wedding Anniversary to us!
In our marriage, there are some other correlations:
*We ride intentionally.
*There are moments of nervous anticipation as we climb up. But we know we ride for the thrill of it.
*We can make it fun.
*There are long waiting lines that try our patience.
*The fierce speed is liberating and we are seemingly out of control. But there are also chances to slow down and catch our breath.
*The more times we ride, the more we know what to expect, and we can sit back and enjoy the ride.
*We know what joy ultimately awaits us at the end....and what keeps us coming back for more? THE RUSH!
I made an incredible choice when I chose to marry this man. With him, it's always an adventure, and I'm hoping that an eternity is long enough to spend with him! We've come far, and have so much yet to accomplish together. He makes it easy to anticipate our future and we have so much to look forward to.
I LOVE YOU, JOSEPH WESLEY FORRED!!!!
