Happy Anniversary!


Today marks Wade's and my 13th wedding anniversary. 13 years ago today we were married at Faith Community Church in Hudson. In that 13 years we've lived in 3 different apartments, then 3 different houses, 3 different states, and had 4 children. There have been lots of ups and downs. But I can say with gratitude that God has been good. He has been faithful through every mountain and valley.

Wade Matthew, just wanted to take a moment to thank you today...for your commitment to our marriage, for working hard to provide for our family, for the sacrifices you make, for all the millions of things you fix around here, for the home remodeling you do (ie. finishing a whole basement practically single-handed, and most recently, tiling the kitchen floor), for making me laugh with your noodle-dance-Nathan-imitation, for letting me get out by myself while you cover mom-duty, for telling me often that you love me. The list goes on...but I'll stop there and finish by telling you that I love you and am thankful for you. Love, Kara Jo

Congratulations!

I'll never forget when Matt and I were in Larry's office for pre-marital counseling and you and Wade stuck your head's in the office to say hello. Larry asked you both to give Matthew and I some advice. You said your wedding day will go by so quickly so be sure to make a point of looking at the time throughout the day and remembering what we were doing at that exact moment.

I hope you and Wade are able to take some time today to remember some special moments from YOUR special day 13 years ago!
