So 10 years ago, today, on a cloudless, perfect day, all 18 members of our wedding party were getting ready.
A lot’s happened since then…
Year 1: We moved twice, added another member, got a dog, and attended 7 weddings.
Year 2: We found out we were going to be a family of 4 and edured the year of the cicada.
Year 3: We moved in my parents. I graduated. Mia was almost born in the waiting room at GBMC, and Patrick broke his leg.
Year 4: Ty was born (unbeknownst to us).
Year 5: We moved again.
Year 6: We went to Florida twice. Once driving a bus with our family and 8 or so high school students and once flying with Patrick’s parents to see Mickey.
Year 7: We went to Korea to become a family of 5.
Year 8: We were featured in a local magazine. Patrick started his own business, and we started an orphan care ministry.
Year 9: We decided to adopt again. We started homeschooling.
Year 10: We bought a 15 passenger van and met the next 2 members of the family and will soon be a family of 7!
Happy Anniversary, Love!
