This time six years ago, what were you doing? I bet you can't remember exactly. I can. This time six years ago I was speaking. I was speaking at an event that I will never speak at again. I was speaking at a once in a lifetime event that none of you will ever speak at. What was that event? My wedding day!
Yes, six years ago today I married Colette, and I have never regretted it! In fact, being married to Colette has been the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life. She is an amazing woman. She is my best friend, my lover, my helper, a wonderful mother to our son, Josiah ... she is faithful, honest, beautiful, funny, wise ... she has the voice of an angel (particularly when singing), an enchanting smile, a lightness and freedom of spirit envied by many. I could go on ...
Anyone that says that marriage gets harder the longer you do it, in my opinion and experience, is wrong. Marriage gets better day by day, month by month, year by year. The challenges merely serve to deepen love, the arguments serve to sharpen character. As time builds, love grows.
Every day I thank God that he brought Colette into my life, and caused her to fall in love with a klutz like me! But today especially, six years from our wedding day, I take time and say a particular thank you to God, for my gorgeous Colette.

Happy Anniversary Mark and Colette - I can now see why you are called Mr. Smoothhurst! - no, seriously, they are top thoughts on your blogspot.
I'm consigned to the study this evening whilst Becky Millar's "baby shower" progresses downstairs with what sounds like 50,000 ladies, so I thought I'd look you up.
I really fancy a brew but am a bit afraid to venture downstairs (do you think this is a side-effect of going to an all-boys school?) ;}
Hope you are really settled into your new life in Chepstow. Have a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year. God bless. Mark
