Anniversary. YAY!

Anniversary: August 22 2009. Here we are at a crucial mile marker of our lives, looking back now at the amazing and challenging year that the Lord has released us into. Looking forward to the year ahead of us, a year of uncertainty and anticipation. We have heard from many people that our marriage is an encouragement to them and we believe that to be true of ourselves because we continually see again and again that it is not happenstance that we have been brought together and are being knit together. From our quarks to our passions, our weaknesses to talents, we are quite the duo. Some have likened us to Mutt and Jeff for our unique sense of humor and awkward way of interacting and loving each other. Either way we are blessed to have one another and we long to leave a legacy for our great grandchildren and following the advice of our parents we plan to leave this world better than we found it. It is our hope and goal to establish a legacy that leads us to be producing this newsletter in the first place. We are not writing this to make our ego’s swell or to beg people for money, we just believe that there is something within both of us that has grown exponentially over the past few years and we believe that “something” can bring hope and joy to the others we encounter in the days and years to come.
