11 years


I was 20 (turning 21 two days later) when I married him 11 years ago. It was in the middle of our Junior Year at Hillsdale College. We were paupers. But we were happy. We saw examples of good, generous people from the beginning- people we wanted to emulate someday. We took the first job we could get a year and a half later to support the new baby on the way. In 11 years we've moved 7 times and had 5 children. We've experienced the joys of parenting, traveling worldwide together, job promotions and gaining priceless friends over the years. However, it was the struggles of living through very difficult conflicts and a death of our child that I see God's grace so visibly orchestrating. I'm glad I have him to go through life with. God is merciful. God is soo good. I'm thankful for him.
