Happy 3rd Anniversary!

Not quite how we envisioned our 3^rd anniversary, but we were together and that’s what matters right? With that said, we spent most of our evening in the NICU. We were invited to a free viewing of the BlindSide and pizza, so that was nice. Unfortunately, we received a call from the hospital during the middle of the showing confirming that there was bacteria in Malachi’s blood stream. The movie put me in an even MORE protective state regarding Malachi, so I went to the hospital while John went to pick up Emerson. Here's the rundown of our first three years as man and wife (and the two years prior):

Dating:



Engaged:



Officially man and wife:



We graduate college, found out we were pregnant, moved to brownsburg, moved to a rental house in brownsburg.



Our first actual house:



Our first baby! (Emerson Grace 12/29/2007):

Our first loss of a child--Jordan miscarried at three months:



Sold our house (no picture) and moved to an apartment in preparation for missionary work in China. (Now no longer on our agenda as long as Malachi is with us.)



Our first son, Malachi! Born 10/27/2009 and still in the NICU:



Through it all, we've clung tightly to one another and even more so to our God. Praise be to Him for choosing us for one another. I love you, John!
