June 26, 1999- a very young couple full of energy and optimism got married. They had known each other for 6 years, since they were just 16 years old! Some people worried that it wouldn't last, that it was just infatuation.
June 26, 2008- That cute couple is us, and we just celebrated our 9th anniversary! Still in love (though a more mature love), we have survived many ups and downs, but never questioned our decision to marry. We are Blessed beyond belief with 3 gorgeous kids, a beautiful house, successful jobs, and wonderful family and friends. Thank you to those of you who have supported us and believed in us.
Our marriage is strong and happy. It is built on love. Our love for each other and God's love for us. And God has helped us by teaching us that a healthy relationship is not 50/50, but 100/100. We are here to help, encourage, and serve each other, not be served. Not to say that we live in perfect harmony every day, but when we do come on hard times we remember God's truths and we try our best to live them out in our marriage.
To celebrate our anniversary, Jeff and I (and Meigan) spent 2 days in Monterey. It was a nice break and we had a good time. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching J and K!
Here's to many more years together!!
