I haven't cried so much in a while.. what a touching blog between the two of you. You really have been through so much together.. I am with you in hoping that the road ahead is atleast a little more peaceful and joyous, less drama filled.. even for just a little bit. I hope you had a wonderful anniversary together.. maybe you should bury a capsule or something to come back and open for your 10th or 15th anniversary.

To my most amazing and adoring wife: As I have said before, as it is stated in 1 Cor 11, You are my glory! You are truly a Proverbs 31 woman and I have been more than blessed to be part of your life for these last five years. Wow, God hand picked you, for me. Before we even met, He knew that you were created to be my wife for life! To read through our blog... to see and recall all the memories... the trials... and the fun that we have had....it's very special. Praise God for His guidance. Praise God for His goodness. Glory be to God in ALL things!
