Happy Anniversary!

Wow - it's been 8 years since our wedding day, about 10 years since we first started "dating".  Since I lived in Ohio and Damon lived here in AZ, everything was over the phone and by letters at first, so I guess that is not really dating!  What a special time it was though.  A beautiful, picture-perfect wedding - little did I know that marriage doesn't always follow a storybook plot!  I am so thankful for the husband God gave me.  I am thankful that he loves the Lord and wants to follow after Him, and that he wants to raise our boys to be Godly men.  I'm thankful for his dry sense of humor and how he can make me laugh.  I'm even thankful for the differences because they drive me to the Lord.  Even in the times that were difficult in our marriage, God proved Himself so faithful to carry us through.  I look forward to see what He does the next eight years!   It is a small picture, but can you guess who that adorable flower girl is?  Hint . . . she attends Calvary Chapel Surprise!
