Happy Anniversary, Chris and Julene

We remember watching your lives intertwine and begin to weave together as you shared your dreams for the future and we've been inspired to see how God has prepared you and led you to follow those dreams. As I was thinking about this, I realized that a good number of them have come true in these nine years! Maybe it's time to come home now? (grin)

I must say it's been an adventure just watching the two of you . . .

On this special day we are so grateful to see how your relationship has only grown sweeter over the years. You have both been willing to learn from each other and allowed God to join your two lives in a way that brings joy and meaning to the people you serve in a foreign place.
We thank God for you and for the blessing of being your parents . . . and grandparents of the other part of your realized dreams. Our hearts truly are full!

Wishing you a wonderful day, remembering and looking ahead to what's in store!

Love, Mom and Dad

Dear Mom & Dad,
Thank you for praying our dreams into reality! It was you who prayed for Chris to enter into my life when you saw how serious I was about heading overseas (husband or not!). Good thing you prayed for him to come because I couldn't imagine life here without him. We had a marvelous anniversary! Thank you for your beautiful post to us.
