We had a fantastic three-day weekend, kicked off by a great wedding between our friends Mike and Jocelyn, followed by traveling to my sister's to see her son be dedicated to the Lord. And it ended today with a few hours in a pool and relaxing on the porch. I've been reminded often recently of how full our lives are and our marriage is. Even though it's a battle every day to be content in God and a continuing struggle to learn to accept Ian's disability, God has filled our lives to the brim with faithful family and friends. We have five nieces and nephews under the age of five, Murphy and Whiteley families that love us to death, and our house is never empty of friends. We have lived through a long season of feeling isolated that only intense disability can bring, only to find a beautifully filled life waiting on the other side. so thank you to all of our incredible family and friends for loving us so well.
here's to what hopefully becomes a great summer.

Wonderful and joyful!
Oh my gosh just wait new bride, you only start looking more alike as the years go on! There is no avoiding it. :)
Haha, I second Meg. There is no way around it...married couples always start to look alike, if the process didn't already start during engagement or even courtship.
Loving the stories of God's faithfulness to you.
