This morning, I typed this into my facebook status:

Today Jon and I have shared 6 years of marriage, where we have lived in 5 homes, visited 6 countries, had two 2 children, lived in 2 hemispheres, experienced a home birth, getting shot at, buying a house, (which was more stressful), Several Chai Tea Lattes, Four trips to London ALL involving obtaining Visas or Passports, a few trips through the refiners fire, and lots of strawberry pancakes on a Saturday morning.

I wanted to say more but it wouldn’t let me!!  it’s not all about the drama and how much we love starbucks…

I wanted to add that I am so thankful for friends. All the friends who have been so good to us as a couple. Those who have invited us around for dinners and Sunday Lunches. Friends who have let us live with them when we had no where else to go. Friends who have supported us financially when we were missionaries in South Africa, and believed in us. Friends who we have been able to be ourselves around and honest with and who still want to be our friends! Friends who we don’t get to see, but who have prayed for us and loved us from a distance. Thank you!

And thank you to God..without you, without your unconditional Love, without the new Hope you give every day, and without you in our lives, we would not be where we are today. You have provided the lovely amazing people who have befriended us, and helped us through the last six years and to you all the glory goes….
