11 Chapters…and counting

11 years ago, I married my prince. (Yes, of course, he sang to me….and I melted.)

We moved to Arizona. Began life together.  Began new jobs and learned how to do ministry together, as a team, full-time.

 

We had one of these…..(Hudson: aka, Bubba, Bubba-Looey, Handsome)

And a few years later we had one of these….(Anna: aka, Banana, Nana, Jellybean, Cutie)

We moved 3,000 miles as a family of four and returned to the East Coast where we felt God had called us to be for the next chapter in our lives.

We have lived, lost loved ones to death and cancer, we have beaten cancer (hallelujah one year cancer free! :), we have grown, and we have learned to love a little better everyday.

We are learning to die to ourselves and strive to live like the one who gave us this life.  And with you at my side, I am ready to face the journey with confidence as you hold my hand, lift me up, and encourage me.  You stretch me, challenge me, love my ugly, adore our children, step into each day with resolve to be a better man, and pretty much blow me away daily. 

Here’s to the next chapter of our lives….

Happy 11th Anniversary, my love.
