A milestone Anniversary

(The "foursome" heading home from the hospital...)

We had a celebratory dinner last night...

Sitting around the dinner table, we all raised our glasses to toast Adam and Jenny's 10th Anniversary.

As I studied the faces of my beautiful family, I was so filled with joy and love.

Adam and Jenny have accomplished so much already on their marital journey.

They are both in careers that they enjoy...and they have two beautiful children to now share the rest of their journey.

They didn't take a trip to some exotic place far from home to celebrate.

They didn't have a romantic candlelight dinner for just the two of them.

They didn't have a big party surrounded by their friends.

They didn't ask for big gifts to mark the occasion.

Instead, they chose to be surrounded by some of their family right here in their home.

They knew that this Anniversary would be remembered for the birth of their beautiful daughter, Audrey, who now joins their family with her brother Owen.

And, when you think about it...

...what greater gift is there than that??

I'm so glad you can be there to enjoy. There is nothing here on earth to compare with that kind of love, for sure.
