Committed

Back in January 1997, a young girl was arranging flowers at a flower shop in Blacksburg, Virginia. 

When she met the handsome delivery boy, a beautiful friendship was born. 

Hours were spent talking about God, playing guitar together, and ironing 

(that's a story for another time). 

 After graduation, they both took jobs in different cities about 3 hours apart. 

By February of 1998, they knew they were meant to be together forever and a proposal was made.

On July 25, 1998 they were wed alongside family and friends.

Together 7 years

 Together 10 years

Together 15 years 

 Today, we celebrate 16 years of marriage. 16 years of God's faithfulness. 

16 years of commitment and love. 

And a fun reason to pretend like I'm back at the flower shop arranging flowers!

(Thanks for the beautiful flowers to arrange, Darin!)  I can't wait for our date night tomorrow. 

Our first night out since we brought Irina home from Ukraine!
