to you.



another year has passed.  and we're still living life side by side and walking hand in hand.  i'm more than grateful.  our story was written by God and my heart is overjoyed with the gift He's given me.  




i love you, johnny/kelly/father of my children/handsome.  i probably don't share enough about what a gift my sweet husband is... i could write posts like this one forever.  





and as we celebrate six wholesome years of marriage, (on the 19th) i'm praising God for the blessing it is to be mrs. graham.  i look forward to many many (and many!) more beautiful years of wedded bliss.  


this song that my brother-in-law wrote is my prayer for the rest of our lives... that our lives, our marriage would be acceptable to the Lord.  and thank You God for all that You have done in our lives!



"words can't describe, 

songs can't convey

all You have done

we stand amazed

so may our lives

for the rest of our days

be acceptable to You."

(from the song: words can't describe, written by: billy foote)

Happy Anniversary to the gorgeous couple. BTW, I just read "your story" and it was similar to ours. My husband and I were both involved as youth leaders at our church. We only dated for 3 months before we got engaged. Still in love after 22 years!
