here’s a few pics through the years–dating, the day after we got engaged, our wedding day and just a couple months ago. i am so blessed to be married to my best friend! i got to share with some of the college students some of my insights on dating and marriage last weekend. some of my main points were–don’t worry so much about being “head over heels” in love. those crazy feelings last about 3 months. then its your friendship that takes you through. marry a godly man who will make a great dad. marry someone who lets you be yourself. we’ve been through a lot–job changes, moves to different cities, having a child with a disability, having a typical toddler 🙂 etc. i can honestly say i a love steve more today than the day i married him! happy valentine’s day!
That’s very true about friendship carrying a marriage through the years.
I just recently found your blog and I enjoy reading it – all the best to you and your family.
Lisa,
Thanks also for all your thoughts. As a single person it’s so easy to be swept up in the Hollywood view of relationships. (It must be love at first sight or forget it, etc.) A great reminder about what lasts.
Lisa, that was moving. Thank you for going through the archives and sharing. God bless you guys as you minister together.
Miss you.
And I miss that California sunshine!!

You guys have been through a lot-and with such grace.
I so agree. Marry a godly man. Marry your best friend. Life is good.
Okay how cute are you guys? So fun, thanks for sharing these pictures! Good insights about marriage too.
(And the comment about having a typical toddler made me laugh!)
