In these past years we've grown up a lot together and experienced a lot.......
- births of Ethan and Bree
- planting a church and ups and downs in ministry
- incredible friendships
- death of a mom
- death of a brother
- 4 months in Costa Rica
- burnout
- spiritual and emotional healing
- weight gain and loss :)
- lots of laughter and inside jokes
- music and concerts
I am very aware that I married up. Right before our wedding, my mom told Angie, "I tried, he's yours now." I don't think she fully knew what my mom meant until a few years into marriage. Recently at a staff gathering, when they heard it was our anniversary coming up, they all congratulated Angie in her perseverance! Even though we all shared a great laugh, I knew there was some truth in that.
In this day of age where so many marriages fail even among Christians, I am so grateful we are still together, in love, growing close to Christ and each other.
I am more excited than ever about our family, our life, and where God has us in our marriage. I can't wait to see what is in store for us.

Thanks, Angie, for your perseverance!
