*Here we are five years later, a family of four, happy and healthy by God's grace*

We are so amazed about how far God has brought us and so excited about his path for our future. Joe and I were talking about how amazing it is that some couples call it quits before reaching this point, we have so much more to learn, love, live and grow with each other we can't imagine how sad it is for couples who don't give the big picture a chance. It's not easy but so worth the hard work of getting to know your mate. As one of the leaders of my bible study says, "you chose the man to love, now love the man you chose". I love you hunny, here's to an amazing journey, yeah!!!
