I love my beautiful bride!

It's that time of year when I sabotage the blog and love on my beautiful wife. She's an amazing woman! Juggling two active kids, a household, and the caring of her husband is no small task as many of you know. I am so thankful that God's hand was at work when we met some 10yrs ago. We see his provision and leading so much more clearly now as we look back. "Thus far the Lord has helped us." (1 Samuel 7:12b)

Mad, as we continue to strive toward living out our vows promised to each other 8yrs ago, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, making his name and renown THE passion and desire of our hearts. I love you! JM

Mad and I began a project last year where we revisited some important places of our joint history. We titled the project 'Growing Old Together' commemorating the 10yrs that we've known each other. We dressed up in wigs, glasses and bow-ties, suggesting age and long life together. The return to places of our past signifies our looking back, the many fond memories and the expectation for more. Enjoy!
