Blessed Beyond Measure

11 years ago this Saturday I said "I Do!" to the man of my dreams!! We knew on our very first date we would never be apart. We knew we had fallen and fallen hard! We knew we were in love. We knew God had given us "The One". I was starry-eyed! I don't know how to explain it any other way. What I didn't know was the work we were going to be putting into our marriage and how much we needed God to be the center focus! My parents will be married 38 years this June and growing up I never knew what it took to make their amazing marrige work. What I knew was they were in love and that was all you needed, right? There is so much more to this! It takes a lot of work and a lot of alone time spent with God! God has helped my parents 38 year marrige and my 11 year marriage! With God we can outlast those nasty statistics! We can shine a light on marriages all over the world! We have grown so much from that very first date. Our love has grown so much more! I never realized who this man would become! So today I would like to tell you who is to me and if you don't mind I want to tell him!!



Nate,



To me you are the man of my dreams! To me you are my best friend! To me you are the greatest dad in the world! To me you are an awesome worship pastor! To me you are selfless! To me you are an amazing friend to so many! To me you are the most amazing man of God a girl could ever hope to find! To me you are mine!! I love you more than words can say! Thank you for choosing me! Thank you for our two beautiful boys! And thank you for the past 11 years! I can't wait to see what the future holds for us! If it's anything like the past 11, I know it will be amazing!! I am BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE!!!!!!



Love Always and Forever,
