Today is our 5th anniversary. It's hard to believe five years have gone by. In some ways it's gone super fast. And it's hard to believe everything that's happened in that time. Our proudest
"accomplishment" is for sure our daughter Lily Elaine. She's such a blessing to us and we're grateful for a healthy, beautiful, funny, precious girl.
We're also grateful for each other. :) Andy is God's perfect provision for me. I continue to be amazed at the ways Andy demonstrates love to me. And it's humbling to try to be as good a wife to him and love him in ways he needs to be loved. I fall short very often.
God has been faithful to us in so many ways. He has blessed us with this marriage and is refining us through this marriage. It's an adventure for sure. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with Andy and seeing what God has in store for us!
5 years ago today we made these promises to each other:
Our Covenant Vows
I, Andy, take you, Dawn, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, to love you as myself, to cherish you and honor you, to lead you and nurture you, to be a faithful husband to you, bringing you happiness all your life, to be entirely devoted to the cross and to you, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better for worse, for the glory of His name and for the joy of our souls. Where you dwell, I will dwell. Your people will be my people and your God, my God. May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.
I, Dawn, take you, Andy, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, to love you as myself, to cherish you and honor you, to help you and encourage you, to be a faithful wife to you, bringing you happiness all your life, to be entirely devoted to the cross and to you, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better for worse, for the glory of His name and for the joy of our souls. Where you dwell, I will dwell. Your people will be my people and your God, my God. May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.
