Today is our 7th wedding anniversary. My how time flies! Even though it feels like I have always known him this 7 years married to Ian has just flown by. The Lord has brought us on some amazing journeys and we have met some wonderful people along the way. I thought I would do a little time line to show where we've been and what we've been up to...
2001:
Married at Florida Blvd. Baptist Church
Lived in student housing New Orleans while we finished school
Both of us working at Dillards
2002:
Still at school and working at Dillards we begin commuting to Baton Rouge to start working with the college group at Florida Blvd. Ian soon became the College Ministry Intern.
2003:
Graduated from
moved to Atlanta to work at Peachtree Corners BC.
made some great friends that I love and miss!!
bought our first house
2004:
still working at PCBC
found out we were having a baby!
2005:
had Bianca in May
got pregnant again in late December
2006:
found out we were having TWINS in Feb.
had Eliana and Giada in Sept.
Called to East Bayou in November
moved to Lafayette in late December
2007:
felt the Lord say now was the time to make the move towards missions
2008:
continued through the process to the mission field and were approved for service in June
Throughout the last 7 years we have made many wonderful friends, grown our family, learned a ton about who we are as a couple and as individuals. The most important lesson I have learned is how important it is to be obedient to the Lords leading. I have told people many times that I did not choose Ian. I didn't even really like him romantically, but I heard the Lord say to me VERY clearly that he was the man I was going to marry. I grew to love him and I am so happy that I listened to the Lord and was obedient. Ian was created for me! He is absolutely everything I need and want in a partner. I am so blessed to be on this journey with him and am so looking forward to where the Lord is leading us.
