Today, Jillian and I celebrate our 36^th anniversary together.  We have shared a lifetime together and have seen the ups and downs, the twists and turns, the happys and sads.  In a world of billions of people living in millions of contexts we have shared life together in a little corner of the world in a little space in time.  As each year passes we marvel at what we have experienced together.

Today we could not have wished for a better gift than to walk into the Doctor’s office with our daughter Julee and her husband Ryan to see the beating heart of a new grandson.  Jill and I reminisce about the blessings we cherish as a new life is about to emerge into this world and dream of what is to come.  We pray that 36 years from today, Noah will be traveling the road of truth.  He will be committed to our Lord, he will carry on the legacy of hope his parents and God will bestow on him.

Thank you Jaimee, Jason, Jeff, Alanna, Julee, Ryan, Joree; Jakob, Jaylin, Payson, Lola, London and Noah for making every anniversary for us a very special day.
