2010-we met for the very first time. He was heading up a Bible study at the same time and 40 minutes away  I had my girls Bible study. One of my girls invited me to visit his study and I did :)


I just adore this picture! It was taken in August 2010 when things were beginning to be a little more serious in our relationship but we still were not officially dating :) Oh and no Jason does not normally wear socks with sandals he had to borrow my brothers lol! ;) Just to clarify :)

Ok, back to the subject on hand!

2011- A year and two months to the day that we met we got married.

2012- Our lives where forever changed when Elijah Samuel was born.

2013- Our lives where changed forever once again when Micah Daniel joined our family.


Our joke was that with three years that had some major life events we were going to take a break and not do anything in 2014.

Well, the Lord (as He so often does) had other plans!

2014- Our marriage is re-surrendered to the Lord as He does a beautiful work in both of our hearts (and is continuing to do more each and every day).

2014- We buy our very own little white house!!!! :) We are now officially homeowners!!!


We had thought at one point that we were going to be building our own house so we had been saving materials for whenever that day would come (flooring, cupboards etc) and this house is a fixer upper that we can actually USE all the materials in :)

It is a ranch that is in town but has .37 acre lot AND is right down the street from the most amazing park ever!

 We have been working like crazy remodeling and hopefully will be able to move in within the next few weeks! I can hardly wait to show you some updates but until then here are some before pictures:

































So that was what we started with two weeks ago. It does NOT look like that anymore thanks to some amazing friends and a very talented husband :) I can't wait to show you the after pictures! :)

So what about you? Do you love home projects or are they not really your thing? 
I actually really do enjoy most aspects of home projects but painting trim. Those two days made me want to possibly kill something or someone (ok not that drastic but you get the point lol). ;)

"I will not die; instead, I will live

Dear Jason,

2010 was the year that I met you-my husband-to-be, although at the time I was definitely not looking. I was going to be a missionary nurse. The end. But thankfully God has other plans.

Enter one Sunday night in March at your Bible study. 

You walked in the room and I knew I was in trouble.

My life had forever changed and I didn’t even know it yet! One day you asked me to be your juggling business manager and all the sudden I was seeing you a lot (not that I minded one bit)!

December of 2010 we got engaged on Christmas day:

One year and two months to the day that I first laid eyes on you Jason we were married-the day was perfect…this was 2011.

2012 brought us our first precious little man-Elijah Samuel!

2013 brought the birth of our second son-Micah Daniel!

We had a joke about 2014. That was the year that we were going to take a break from any major life changes.

Well, 2014 has been the year that the Lord has brought new life to our marriage. Painful but so beautiful at the same time. 2014 has been the year that you and I fell in love with each other all over again but in such a deeper way.

Today is our third wedding anniversary and last night you had Micah on your shoulders and asked me to dance with you.

So I did.

I am so in love with you! Three years have gone by since our wedding day and I am so in awe of how God has used you in my life!

Happy third anniversary love. I can hardly wait for the next 80 years of living life by your side.

You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and when I look at you and our precious boys I know that I would want nothing else.

You are such a wonderful Daddy, faithful provider, thoughtful helper, lover, best friend and soul mate.

You have my heart.

I love you baby,

Katy
