7 years of Love, patience and lots more :)

Has it really been that long since we had our fabulous bash and wonderful ceremony? I would love to throw another big party, that was fun! We are remembering many moments of those days, before and after and the wonderful gifts, the generous help and support so many of you shared w/us! We love you all and thanks for supporting us, praying for us and being there for us over the past 7+ years. We are blessed.
For our special celebration we went on the Napa Wine Train Lunch Monday~We enjoyed ourselves, had some nice wine and more importantly had some over due one on one time. We thought about how much Bryce would have enjoyed the leisurely train ride... and that moment passed as we thought about containing him LOL! It was a gorgeous day in the Napa Valley, lots of nice people and a very enjoyable afternoon. Thank you Grandma for loving on Bryce on Monday's... and hey this worked out great for this year. P.S. Thanks for picking up the flowers for Erik.

I cooked dinner (I know, I know..WHAT??) but that was fine it was very simple and quick and easy on the budget :)

We have had many unforgettable experiences in the past seven years: Issues with our beloved church, the birth of our first and only precious son so very early, job changes (some by our choice and some not), weddings, funerals of those close to us and close to our families, trips and special occasions that linger in our memory.

Through it all we have seen God's hand of love, mercy, compassion, kindness and unconditional love never fail and never end. He is ALWAYS taking care of us and providing for us, stretching and growing us, ever patient with us. There is no area of our lives that we can look that God is not or has not touched and that is amazing!!
We look forward to what he is doing for Erik and his job and what the future hold for us in the next 7 years :) .

Dearest Krista,
What a special tribute to our Lord, your marriage and the friends who support you in pray and have loved you 2 (3) these last 7 years. Dad and I are blessed to know that God is so active in your lives.

Great pictures and those ear muffs are the cutiest ever and look like they did a great job. You can tell he had a hard night, but what a trooper!

So glad you and Erik got to enjoy each other on that train ride. What a great time that must have been. You both looked so relaxed and happy, truely happy. I for one am very relieved you didn't have the little tyke along.....way too much activity to keep him in one place. Happy Anniversary you 2!!!

Dad feels better as he heads for bed tonight. Looks like he'll make the trek over to Bozeman tomorrow to celebrate Kevin's 45th birthday. Don't know what God's up to, but we trust He is in control and His plans are not for evil in our lives, but for a good future. We trust Him to open the heavens and pour out a blessing upon our family. Praise God for His goodness to us all.

Dad and I miss you sweetie. We praise God for your life in Christ. You're so faithful. We love you as much as the bee loves yellow flowers; as much as you love Bryce and as much as flowers love water. Be blessed this week- end. Keep that boy in tow and remember, he's only young once, but his habits will stay for an eternity. Mold him, hold him and mold him. XOXOXOX, Mom
