7 Years

On Monday we celebrated our 7 year Anniversary!  It seems like the last 7 years have gone by so quickly.  I feel extremely blessed to have a husband who loves the Lord, works hard, cares for me, plays with his son, invests in the lives of his family and friends, and still makes me laugh.  It's hard to believer that 7 years ago we were just beginning our lives together.  Lots has changed.

The past 7 years have been filled with lots of different things for us.  We have had 9 different jobs between the 2 of us, moved 3 different times in Anchorage, had our first son (Neal), moved across the US to North Carolina,  and started into full time ministry.

Each year brings new surprises, some are happy surprises and some are hard, but together we have learned a lot and look forward to what the Lord has in store for us in the years to come.

We decided to celebrate this year by including the "new" things in our life/marriage in the celebration (this may also have been because we forgot to arrange for a babysitter ahead of time).  So, Neal came with us to the restaurant and we started the meal off with a plate of pickle chips, welcome to the south!

Happy Anniversary!  7 years and counting...
