Today is our 13th wedding anniversary! Can't believe it was 13 years ago that I said "I do" to Mark. It has been a ride and the most incredible journey I have ever been on. I think the highlights have been the adoption of Luke and Grace and the birth of Bella, followed by all the wonderful traveling we have been able to do with the kids and the memories that we will have forever. Some of the low points include losing those that we loved so much, saying goodbye to babies before we ever knew them, and medical issues with Luke. Through it all...the highs and the lows, I can see how God has been glorified in those times. The difficult times were allowed and through them God taught us so much about ourselves and led us in the direction He wanted us to go. Without losing our babies, we would have never met Luke and Grace and would have never known what syndrome I had so that eventually we would have Isabella. God is good...even in the midst of trial. God is good...in the midst of blessing. How amazing that He could take a 16 year old girl and a 17 year old boy and knit their hearts together even at that young of an age! That He would be glorified through our lives and that He would give us this incredible story to share with others. Here's to another 13 years and beyond!
