Today is our four year anniversary. I was thinking back over the past four years and can't believe how good God has been to us. The summer we got married He provided a little duplex for us to stay in for two months before we moved to Memphis. He provided us with an apartment in Memphis where I felt safe. He has led us to two great church families. He has provided jobs for each of us wherever we lived. He provided us with our first house that fits us perfectly. He has watched over us through travels and provided us with means to travel. The details of each blessing are clear reminders that God is good and He is watching over us. We are so grateful for the blessings of the past four years and looking forward to a lifetime more of memories.
We have grown so much as a couple the last four years. We have grown spiritually as we prayed over decisions and walked by faith. We have grown up together as we have faced emergency room visits and procedures together and first days of real jobs together and buying our first home. We have grown as a couple learning about one another and learning how to show one another love. We aren't the same kiddos that got married four years ago and I pray that we remain teachable for many years to come.
Here are some wedding pictures to bring back the memories.
Chali was 19 months old...smelling the roses.

It's funny how the memories from those early days of marriage seem so long ago, yet at the same time it seems like they happened just yesterday. Congratulations, Grace and EJ on four years!
I'm so excited for you guys : ) I can't wait till Brad and I are out of the limbo years haha. I'm very proud of you two. Love the pics, I can't believe that was four years ago! Today was my parents' 26th, and I told mom that you guys had been married for 4 years and she didn't believe me haha. It goes by so fast! Can't wait to see you next week!
How did you manage to get a wedding scheduled on Festivus weekend? :) hehehe I couldn't resist. Sorry!
I got teary just looking at those photos. I have said so many times that your wedding was one of the sweetest weddings I've ever attended. I loved the slide show and that was very touching, but the thing that had me sobbing was you and EJ, bowed in prayer on the altar. I am telling you, I was so proud of the two of you at that moment that I could have POPPED... I hope God forgives me for the extreme amount of pride I felt at that moment! :)
Love you guys! Miss you! Can't wait to see you tomorrow.
I am such a terrible sister-in-law! I cannot believe I forgot to call you guys! It was in my head the whole week before, but then I worked 45 hrs last week and completely forgot. Will you ever forgive me? Congrats you guys on 4 yrs!!! Love you!!!
