Today my sweet in-laws celebrate 30 years of marriage. What an amazing testimony to God’s grace and love! One year, one month, and one day after their wedding, little Stephen Andrew was born–and that was only the beginning of their beautiful family. I feel so blessed to now be part of that family. Although neither Stephen nor I envisioned us living 15 minutes away from his parents for 3 years, we are so thankful that we could start our marriage so close to Mom and Dad. I feel like that time allowed me to truly become a daughter to them, and their love for us is a treasure.

Mom and Dad, thank you for the loving home you gave Stephen and all your kids. We hope you have 30 more years together! We miss you. Happy anniversary!
