I am blessed

Heather_jamieWell today is 10 years of marriage for Heather and me!  So cool and so surreal that it has been that long.  I definitely got the better end of this deal.  I remember people telling us soon after we got married that "you think you're in love now, just give it time and the love will increase beyond what you can imagine"--I wasn't really sure I understood what they were saying.  Now I know.  I love Heather even more deeply today than I did back when we said "I do" that hot August day.  She has been a true gift from God.  I know I don't appreciate her as much as I should.  She loves me so well and faithfully.  She is a fantastic mom to our two little girls.  She is beautiful and talented.  I love that we love so many of the same things.  We love spending time together and I am looking forward to what the next 10 years will be like.  She has also exhibited tremendous faith as she agreed to marry a guy who was going into youth ministry and now is heading into the realm of church planting.  There is no way I would have been able to do any of this without her strength.  I am grateful that the past few months have stretched and grown us together even further as we have wrestled through God's plans for my future vocation. 



Heather, thank you for a wonderful first ten years and I look forward to many more!



Also on this date, 1 year ago today, God blessed us with Mackinley!  Happy birthday Mackie!
