So, it’s been five years, baby. I honestly cannot believe that. It goes so fast, and I can’t believe we are into the second half of this decade of marriage. Meeting you when I met you was completely and totally from God. I sometimes think about our life and can’t believe I’m here, and with such a supportive and amazing husband. I love our little family, even though it’s just us right now :) (Oh and Zelda & Tycho)

On our wedding day, we said vows to each other that were so beautiful I thought I’d type them out again here as the pictures play out.

ceremony

Brian: “Rachel, I love you and I know that this love is from God. Because of this, I want to be your husband so that we might serve Christ together. Through all of the uncertainties and trials of the present and future, I promise to guide and protect you as Christ does his church, as long as we both shall live. God’s Word gives us the perfect example of this love in Christ’s death for the Church. I shall try always, with God’s help, to show you this same kind of love, for I know that in His sight we will both be one.”

vows

Rachel: “Brian, I love you. I prayed that God would lead me to his choice. I praise Him that today His will is being fulfilled. Through the pressures of the present and uncertainties of the future, I promise my faithfulness, to follow you through all of life’s experiences as you follow God, that together we may grow in the likeness of Christ and our home be a praise to Him. I am secure in the knowledge that youw ill be my constant friend and my one true love. I promise to love you without reservation and cherish you forever.”

And of course, I have to end on a sad note … as we wait for Gramma to go home and be with the Lord any day/any moment now, we all remember her as this crazy happy woman, dancing with Papa. Gramma I love you so much and I am going to MISS you terribley. We just want you to be wtih Jesus, not suffering anymore, and in a beautiful new and healthy body. We will remember your comments, yelling at Papa, your smile, your dancing, your resourcefulness, how you took in Brian in your basement for a few weeks and did all his ironing, how you loved your children and your grandchildren, how your heart broke for animals and you rescued Miss Mew & her 8 kittens, watching you take care of those cats as if they were your own children. I will remember seeing you worship in church, praying at family functions, and just loving all of us so much. We love you too.
