nine wonderful...

...years! I know, I know, I'm supposed to say that, but it is true - they have been wonderful. Last week Jen and I celebrated our nine year anniversary. It's crazy to think I got married so young, but hey, Jen was younger than me. In those nine years we've lived in 5 different places, served in 4 wonderful student ministries (two part time, two full), driven 6 different cars (not a boasting...you haven't seen the cars we drove), went to seminary, taught in three different school systems, and had two wonderful daughters (some would call them Georgia peaches). Who said getting married is settling down? I would disagree with that statement.

Sure we're a lot like transients, but I guess that's what Jesus meant when he was telling his followers they won't know where they're going to lay their head.

Anyway...we celebrated our nine years by going out and getting a Wii. That's right, we got the coolest game system in the world. How cool is my wife...pretty dang cool if you ask me. She was totally into going out and getting the Wii. Jen's actually gotten pretty good at it. Next...Wii Fit. Just think how fit I'll be after the next nine years.

All I'm saying is I have a great family and I'm excited about the future. I'm praying I won't be moving in the next nine years (don't you think 5 times is enough), but I'm also praying for God's guidence in my family.

Who knows what God has in store, but I'm thankful for what He's in our past.
