Twelve Years

On March 22, 1997 I married my best friend and soulmate. We met exactly seventeen months (to the day) before we got married and twelve short years later we are still deeply in love. We never could have guessed way back then what all was going to take place in our lives. Thankfully we have an awesome God who has seen us through every step of the journey - moving around the country, expanding our family, changing careers and all the ups and downs of everyday life.

In the past twelve years we have been blessed with two beautiful, amazing children and one crazy dog. We have lived in five different states and moved ten times. We have figured out that we aren't cold weather people, that we love good tex-mex and that someday we'd love to live in Taiwan for a while. We have learned that family is not necessarily formed by blood, but by love and that good friends are those people you can visit once every two years and still feel right at home. We have learned that God is faithful even when we can't understand why things happen the way they do. Most of all, we are thankful that we are a family and that God has brought us all together forever.
