Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

Matt

8 years ago i went on a walk with a handsome young man on a cold Alberta night. He gave me a single red rose and asked if he could date/court me. I knew then and there that we would be together always and he has had my heart ever since. I know that we are still very young in our marriage and haven't had to many years together (just over 7 years marriage) but there has never been a time where i have loved him more or admired him more. We have gone through many difficult transitions in our time together (many moves, small children close together, special needs children, career change, health issues, small business start up, ect.) but I believe that our love and faith that was placed first in the Lord and our foundation solely built on him, has kept us together, in love, and strong these years where many would have fallen apart. I'm not saying that our marriage is perfect, because no ones is, but it is a joy and a blessing. We both entered into marriage knowing that we were flawed and sinful people in desperate need of a loving God who makes all things good.
Anyway.. I'm just so thankful God has given me this amazing Man and I love looking back out our beginnings.
