Happy Eighth Anniversary!!

Our love story is my favorite!!

Eight years ago today, God brought together eight broken people as one family. Our family is comprised of broken promises, broken relationships, broken health and broken hearts, the result of two divorces (one on each side) and a death.

When I consider the circumstances that formed our pasts and shaped our coming together, I am amazed at how God works.

He took this:

 And made this:

And to me, that is simply astounding! God brought us together and He is what keeps us together. Navigating life in a marriage and family is hard! Our marriage has not been perfect. We have had tears and struggles and difficulty and stress. And we have had joy and laughter and fun and love!

God blessed our broken road and continues to do so! Happy Anniversary to us! Thank you Lord for the years you have given us and to the many more to come.

Bless the Broken Road

This is the song our sweet friend Leslie sang at our wedding.
