First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage...

As a little girl we've all sang that catchy little song,
"(Boy) 'N (Girl) sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage!"
Today, Brian & I are celebrating our 7th Wedding Anniversary! I can not believe it that it has already been seven years, but it has! So much has happened in those short seven years.
And what a BLESSING this journey has been!
In those seven years...
We've moved four times!
Served at five churches.
Lived in four states!
Owned four homes...
Experienced the gift of LIFE & had two PRECIOUS babies!
A daughter. And a son.
We've seen the Lord do AMAZING things in ministry.
Celebrated many holiday's together.
Made lifelong friends.
We've been challenged in our faith.
Stretched in our love for each other.
We've learned how to fight effectively.
Laughed A TON!! Shed some tears.
And through it all we've seen The Lord's Faithful Hand guiding us through it all...

What an INCREDIBLE BLESSING my marriage has been... I know that not everyone can say that. But I truly am blessed with an amazing, godly, leader as a husband. Who also happens to be a FABULOUS father to our two kids. Who also happens to be an INCREDIBLY gifted student pastor & communicator of God's Word!
Happy Anniversary Babe!
I love you more than words can say!
I can't wait to spend the next 70 years by your side!

So back to that catchy little song I sang as a little girl, it has come true in my life...
crazy to think of how fast the time as gone, but we certainly did fall in love (after a crazy few years prior to), had an amazing wedding which has evolved into a great marriage - centered on The Lord, and then built a family together with adding our two babies!!
I couldn't imagine my life without these three people in my life.
I feel so overwhelmed that the Lord has blessed us so....
and is so thankful to the Lord for the beautiful picture of marriage.
