Eight Years!

I can't believe it's been 8 years since I married my sweetheart! It feels like yesterday I was standing with him, hand in hand and saying, "I do." I can't express how thankful I am to the Lord that He brought us together. Seth is the most selfless, loving, godly husband and I can't believe I can call him mine :)


I've been doing some reflecting over the last eight years and thought I'd share.
2006 - Got married, moved to Oklahoma, found out we were pregnant with a honeymoon baby, lost our sweet Samuel at 20 weeks.
2007 - bought our first house, found out we were pregnant with Landon, had appendectomy and thought we were going to lose him as well, but the Lord graciously spared him!
2008 - Had our precious Landon. Lost both Seth's grandpa and grandma.
2009 - Lost my grandma. Found out I had Lymes disease and began treatment
2010 - Had our first girl, Olivia!
2011 - Bought our 2nd house 
2012 - Lost Seth's sweet aunt, Donna. Had our sweet Jamesy boy
2013 - Lost another of Seth's sweet aunts, Joyce. 
Found out we were expecting again with another little girl!
2014 - We can't wait to meet this precious girl due July 4th


Not too mention all the nieces and nephews that were born and the brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws I've gained over that time! 
Eight years ago, I never would have anticipated all we would go through together and where we would be today, but I am so thankful that the Lord has our lives in His hands and we can trust Him with whatever comes our way.

God has blessed you so much! I'm glad you can see that while working so hard at home - your children will be blessed too.
