Elbert, Colorado Anniversary Portraits: Cindi & Mike

They live out in the country.  Secluded.  Together.

He calls her “hun” in the sweetest way possible.

She wears his mother’s wedding ring as her own.

He’s protective of her.

Her eyes are goregous.  Filled with joy and sparkling with love.  Like she’s never seen heartache.  But really, she’s conquered it.

His eyes are deep.  Overflowing with wisdom and intensity of all he’s seen in 18 years as a policeman, yet so much compassion pours out.

They live out in the country.

Secluded.

Together

They’ve been married for 13 years, but you’d think only 13 days by their playfulness and loyalty.

Though they haven’t been blessed with children of their own, they’ve been blessed with five God-children.  They’ve been blessed with the gift of loving them and each other.  And when the going hasn’t been easy and will likely be rough again, and even when it is easy… they hang onto each other.

And it was that bond which intrigued me most.

Their together bond…

As one of Cindi and Mike’s best friends told me, “[They’re] not just like typical spouses.  They are an inspiration for any couple.”

And I don’t even know the half of it…

Mike and Cindi, you two truly are an inspiration.  I can only hope my thirteenth wedding anniversary is filled with as much childlike joy and sweet love as yours.  To say I enjoyed our time together is an understatement.  I eagerly await our paths to cross again.

So much love and joy to you.
xoxo,
René
