Happy Eight!

Eight years ago, I married my best friend! It hasn't been an easy, downhill coast. But I can say now, looking back, that the uphill climb of growing together has been quite an adventure and well worth the effort! God's grace has been so evident as we have learned to let go of our own selfishness and instead look to love and serve the other! And besides, nothing worth having comes easy, right?!?!

We are taking a wonderful parenting class and the last couple of weeks has focused on the strengths that each of us bring into our marriage and family. Although none of this comes as a huge surprise, it has been so exciting to freshly embrace Rich's unique strengths and recognize how God has used him in my life and the lives of our boys! We are very much opposites in so many ways and yet it seems that we are such a good blend in balancing each other out and prodding the other to be all God has called us to be.
