eight years ago

There are lots of reasons to celebrate around here these days...


Eight years ago today I married my best-est friend.
It is hard to believe it has been that long already.
There are so many reasons why I love my hubby.
I think the thing I love the most about him, 
the reason I was drawn to him even as a high schooler,
is the joy that spills out wherever he goes.
He is really happy almost all the time.
Not just fake happy, but true joyfulness.
And he is so funny.
He is always making me laugh.
I love that he brings joy both in our home and wherever he goes.
And I love that I get to spend my life with this happy guy.
That makes me happy too!

Not only is it our anniversary, but Levi is seven months old today.
More about what Mr. Levi is up to soon...

Jess- I know you draw strength and love from Joel to continue life without Cora. I am so glad you have each other to look forward to Heaven together, reunited as a family. Praise God that you have a wonderful husband, as I am sure he does the same.
