Welcome to our blog! We hope you enjoy what you read and that we all walk away feeling encouraged and edified...Here it goes!


We met, married, and moved in 7 months.
(not exactly, but it sounded impressive, right?)

We met at Christian Youth in Action in 1996. When we graduated, we went our seperate ways, each hoping our paths would cross again someday.

That, they did. We were married on Aug 2, 2003 after 3 years of waiting for the right time, 4 months of getting to know each other again, and two months of engagement...not so bad, huh?!

Three months later we were expecting. Anna Jo was born on July 19, 2004. God spared our lives that day and kept us through hard days that followed. He walked with us in the valley and helped us start up the mountain-side of recovery.

That was a little over two years ago...we now have another baby, Amber Rose who was born May 24, 2006.

So, a happy, healthy little family of four, are we. I have had a full recovery and Anna is a typical two year old:-) Amber is going on 4 months in a couple of weeks...my, the time does fly. I knew it would.

Today my little Anna helped make banana bread...the famous recipe has now been passed down 4 generations (that I know of). Amber is sleeping peacefully in her swing, and Anna is now singing to herself in her crib...she is supposed to be taking a nap. The bread is done so I need to get a mooooove on! I will try to figure out the rest of the pictures another time.
