Today, my husband and I are celebrating nineteen years of marriage! We were married when we were both only 19 years old. As I look back on those early days, I can tell you the only way we made it was by God’s grace. He has carried us through so much. Here are a few …
On January 2, 2016, Terry and I celebrated our 18th anniversary! I lost my dad suddenly after Terry and I were married seven short years. One day I spoke to my dad on the phone, and the next, he was in Heaven. This was a difficult time for my own marriage. My grief was so …

As a little girl, I had a man. He was my dad. I wanted to marry someone just like him – hard working, funny, strong, and wise. By God’s grace, I did just that sixteen years ago today. My man is not perfect, but that’s okay. His wife isn’t perfect, either! We’ve traveled many roads …

I’m sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. We got back from our anniversary trip on Friday afternoon, and then Mom had to be at the airport early on Saturday. We also had our first “In Service Saturday” this past weekend, and then, poor Lauren got a stomach virus Saturday night! She is …
