It's been a great 8 years.

Dan and I got married in Montreat, NC at the chapel of the prodigal. I had just turned 22 and dan was 25. We were so young and he had no idea that he was marrying a woman with such gusto (nice way of saying stubborn).

When i sit down to think about why i really fell in love with him besides the good looks,
how fun he is and the kind heart he has, it's because he knew who i really was in Christ and he would not let me settle for staying in my comfort zone. Dan was the first male i had ever been around that wouldn't let me remain in my ways. He called me out on my you know what. The funny thing was, I wanted to be better. I wanted what he had, a peaceful and confident heart because he knew what Jesus had done for him and he lived in that freedom.
"Cling to the crucified, jesus the lamb who died, cling to the crucified, jesus the king"
That's what dan is all about.....and that is why i'm so thankful that it's been 8 sometimes quite challenging but wonderous, miraculous years.

Something Dan often says to me when i'm having a tough time (ok being a mean girl), is
"annie, do you know how much you are loved?" (i know some of you are laughing at the annie part, but that's what he really says).
He doesn't mean loved by him, although that is true amazing as it is. He means, loved by my Savior, the omniscient one, maker of heaven and earth. And since he loves me i can rest and be at peace with whatever may come.

Thank you honey for loving me, caring for me and calling me to live in the freedom of who i am in Christ.
