16 YEARS since this woman took pity on me admin, April 24, 2025 Posted November 22, 2024 – Y’all ain’t gonna believe this, but it’s been 16 YEARS since this woman took pity on me and said “I do.” Sixteen years ago today, up in snowy Gatlinburg, with the Dollywood lights twinkling, Debbie Burnette made me the luckiest man alive. Little did I know, that ‘yes’ would lead to a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and memories that I’m still tryin’ to wrap my head around! Sixteen years of adventures, y’all. We’re talking enough memories to fill a dozen photo albums and enough laughter to drown out a thunderstorm. Debbie, you’re the sunshine on a cloudy day, the biscuits and gravy after a long night, the punchline to my favorite joke. Y’all, I’m telling you – if there’s a luckier man in Georgia or Tennessee, I sure haven’t met him! Debbie, You’re the melody that fills my heart with joy, the rhythm that makes me wanna dance, and the harmony that brings balance to my crazy life. You’re my partner in every sense of the word, my best friend, and my soulmate. Today, as we celebrate 16 years of this wonderful journey, I’m on my knees thanking God for His perfect timing and infinite wisdom in bringing us together. And while I’m at it, I’m putting in my order for at least 16 more years of adventures with the most beautiful, loving, and remarkable woman I’ve ever known. Lord knows I don’t say it enough, but thank you, darlin’. Thank you for every smile, every hug, every adventure. And thank you, Lord, for blessing me with a woman who makes every day feel like we’re still honeymooning in the Smokies. I pray that You’ll continue to bless us with many more years of love, laughter, and adventure. Sixteen more, Lord? That’d be a mighty fine start! So on this special day, I want to say thank you, Debbie, for bein’ my rock, my confidante, and my everything. I love you more today than I did 16 years ago, and I don’t know how that’s possible, but it’s the honest truth. Here’s to many more years of makin’ memories, laughin’ together, and explorin’ this crazy world side by side!
