the joys of raising jack, jovie & judah: 3 Blessed Years!

today is one of my favorite days of the year. its more special than my birthday and just as fun as Christmas. today is my wedding anniversary. the hubby & i are celebrating 3 years of loving life as husband & wife! (i know that rhymed. so sorry!) we have been together for 8.5 years and married for 3 of those years. i literally can not remember life before my sweet husband. these past 3 years have brought us so much joy. we've had 2 ministry jobs, raised a pug puppy, had a son together & now we are expecting our little girl in less than 6 weeks. the Lord has been good to us. Life has not been perfect b/c we are not perfect people, but we have learned & grown together so much. i can not think of a better person to spend my life with. Ben truly is my very best friend, i tell him everything & i can not hide a single thing from him. he can pretty much read my mind & he knows just what i need (most of the time!!). he always makes me laugh & can easily cheer me up. he is a godly prayer warrior and he seeks to be a husband with a servant's heart. my favorite thing about him is the way he loves Jack. i love watching him teach & love our son. it is such a blessing. Jack & Jovie have no idea how blessed they are to have him as their father. i praise the Lord for my husband everyday and i pray that i am the wife that he needs on a daily basis.

Ben, i love you more today than on our wedding day. you are such a wonderful helpmate & incredible leader in our home. i pray that i never take you for granted. thank you for being such a sweet and generous husband. i love you so much. happy anniversary.
