Happy Birthday, Babe!

Although we've only been married for 4 1/2 years, Josh and I have know each other for 14 years! It is amazing to think that in some ways we've grown up together. We were such good friends in college and spent a lot of years together out of college. I am greatful for all the time we had to get to know each other before we married.

I am thankful to his parents for raising a guy who fears the Lord and desires to serve him with his life. I am thankful for the example they set to him as parents that has made him such a great Dad! I always watched the way he treated and cared for his sister and I knew someday he would be an amazing dad to a little girl!

I am thankful for the challenges we've gone through as a couple. They have drawn us closer together and closer to the Lord. Without the Lord in our lives I know we wouldn't be the same couple we are today. God has been very kind and gracious to us.

I am thankful for another year and I pray the Lord will bless us with many more!
