I woke up to these this morning. . . Aren't they pretty?
Yesterday marked 10 years since our first date.
So, so much has happened in 10 years.
There's been:
marriage
new jobs
4 moves
3 kids
tears
laughter
arguments
struggles
joy
contentment
stress
a learning to lean even more on God
This past year has not been easy for us.
We have struggled with
jobs (or lack of),
finances,
emotions,
our relationship,
depression,
trusting God.
BUT....
By God's grace we are growing,
we are coming out on the other side
and we are stronger for it.
Troy has been incredible, he is learning to listen to the call of God on his life and I am watching how that is changing him.
I am thankful,
from the bottom of my heart.
As much as this past year had been a challenge, I wouldn't change it.
In fact, I would go as far as to say I would do it again if it meant learning and growing even more.
God is God and His ways are not even close to ours.
And for that, I am thankful.
We have learned to
slow down,
to lean on God (even when it makes no human sense)
to let others into our pain and struggle
to trust each other.
We are still growing, changing, learning and it is a life long process, but I am so grateful that God has brought us this far.

It's great to be able to reflect back and see God's amazing faithfulness! Nice work, Troy!!
So beautiful! I love all of the photos.
This post really touched me. Because it is a big deal to say that you would be willing to go through the tough stuff again if it brings you closer together and closer to Christ!
It's been such a blessing to follow God's plans in your life via blog world :) May the years to come be filled with Him ... and opportunities to see LOVE in action~
Those are such pretty flowers!! :) And I love how you captured the image with the warming sunlight shining on them!
Stefan.
