Our Beginnings...

Well...the title is a little misleading, I suppose. Our beginnings actually began our junior year in highschool. Yes, that's right...I followed my parents' footsteps and married my highschool sweetheart! However....our beginning as husband & wife began in May 2005.

In our short four years of marriage....I have learned so much about myself. It has been quite the refining process and I cannot imagine where I would be without the sweet grace of Jesus! Who knew marriage could reveal so much about a person? A challenging, but beautiful process....sanctification.

Here are a few pictures from our wedding day....




Isaac...I love you and am grateful for this journey I get to share with you! Thanks for loving me...despite me!! :)

Mini Rockstar

Sorry for the delay...life has been a bit busy and the blog took the backseat. However, here I am...for today anyways! :)
Many of you are aware that Isaac & I recently sufferred a miscarriage. We are so very blessed to have each of you in our lives that have prayed and served us well over the past few weeks. Thank you for your friendship and for loving us, even in the pit. The process of grief has been difficult to endure, but I have hope. Hope that the Lord will comfort and heal and this is all for our good and His glory, even though it stings. Here are some lyrics to a beautiful song by Christy Nockels, titled "Glory Baby."

Sweet little baby, it's hard to understand it
'Cause we're hurting, we are hurting
But there is healing, and we know we're stronger people
Through the growing, and in knowing
All things work together for our good
And God works His purposes
Just like He said He would
I can't imagine heaven's lullabies
And what they must sound like
But I will rest in knowing
Heaven is your home
And it's all you'll ever know
So sweet.

And here's my mini rockstar!! I will forewarn you...the lighting is terrible, but I promise it is my son!! After I realized my flash was off, I attempted to get him to do it again, apparently he doesn't perform on command.

Looking on with admiration at Bono...Aunt Andi will be so proud!

Practicing....
