Seven Years...In the Blink of an Eye

Today is a big day for Channing and me. It's our seven year wedding anniversary!!! I can hardly believe it. SEVEN YEARS! It seems like yesterday we were saying our vows and committing our lives to one another. Three churches, two kids, and an office later...we're celebrating seven years of marriage.

Each year has had its challenges, but for every challenge, there has been a blessing. Today over lunch, Channing and I reminisced about our seven years together. We thought back to our vacations and all the places we've visited together; to the birth of our boys; to the churches that have meant so much to us; to our friends; to our struggles; to all that God has done in our lives. We also shared our dreams for the next seven years and what we would like to accomplish together.
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. And I assure you, I'm not just saying that. I am truly blessed. Channing is a loving husband, a caring father, and a compassionate friend. There is nothing he wouldn't do for his family (well, he might not rub our feet, but that's a story in itself). He is a man of integrity in a world where integrity is hard to find. He is a man after God's heart. He is a shining example of Christ's love.
Channing gives our family balance. I am the emotional, impulsive firecracker of the family. He is the level-headed peacemaker.

Thank you, God, for blessing me with such a terrific man. I don't deserve him, I don't understand why You put us together sometimes, but I am SO thankful.
