My husband and I recently celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. Over the years, we have had our share of ups, downs, shares of blessings, sadness, overseas moves, and overall have continued to build a stronger friendship, thanks to God's help. This year we celebrated by eating lunch at a seafood restaurant called Waters. It was delicious! This was our first time to leave our baby with a babysitter. She did great. We went after church since she naps around lunchtime. It was nice having 3 hours to ourselves. A very rare thing!
Here are some things about our last 11 years:
- We met while attending college at a local church.
- We have lived in 5 homes and spent around 4 months living in a hotel, and 2 months living in a temporary house while waiting searching for a house when we moved from Germany.
- We have owned 7 different cars, thankfully not more than 2 at a time!
- We have lived in two different cities in Texas and one city in Germany.
- I gave birth to one child in Germany and one in the U.S.
- We have two precious children and one on the way!
- We have lost four precious children through miscarriages.
- We love to travel and have been to 29 countries together, which consists of 3 continents. Here's where we've been in no particular order: US, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Portugal, Czech, England, Ireland, Spain, Morocco, DR, Mexico, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Belize, Honduras, Netherlands, Belgium, Malta, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, and Norway.
- We love church ministry and serving in ways that help people.
There is no one else I'd rather spend my life with. My husband is my best friend and a wonderful dad and husband. He works so hard for our family and is the definition of a servant leader. Our family is so blessed to have him. I included a few pictures from our anniversary and our wedding day.
