10 Years

July 14, 2012

We celebrated 10 years of marriage. A lifetime ago we were kids.

Jeff had just enlisted in the Air Force and we knew

it was time for us to start a family.

How does a marriage survive 10 years?

For some people, it may be with ease, but I can't image who. For us.. we fought for it.

There were plenty of occasions that we could have given up.

Plenty of times hurt made us doubt if it was worth the fight.

But God in all His grace knew

IT ABSOLUTELY WAS!

The man I am married to is a living, breathing example of God's grace.

We have grown up together, loved, fought, laughed,

rejoiced, suffered, hoped, prayed, cried, and forgiven.

By the grace of God we made it to this day!

The man I am married to is not the man I married, he is so much more than just my best friend!

He is my example of Christ's love, my leader, my eternal soul mate.

10 years was the perfect time for us to renew our vows.

Our friend, and pastor, Nate performed the ceremony. It was just our family and theirs, and my sweet friend Jennifer who took all these beautiful pictures.

Praise God. He makes all things new (Rev. 21:5)

{{WARNING:: KISSING PICTURE AHEAD}}

(Seriously! - every kissing picture should have a warning. Sometimes they catch me off guard and I am like barf... someone could have told me that was coming :P)
