Today we attended the wedding of the daughter of very good friends.  The friends are from the church we used to attend in Olathe.  In fact, Linda was the organist for the wedding.

As I sat there watching the two get married in a very beautiful Mass ceremony, it made me think back 17 years to a Saturday in May when we got married.

We have been through many things over those 17 years – college completion, active military duty, the birth of our two daughters, med school, residency, the purchase of two different homes…and all the other little stuff in between.  Through it all we have been together as a united team and I realized how lucky I am to have such a wonderful partner as Linda.  The Lord has truly blessed us!

Here’s hoping Matt and Jen have success in their marriage – and may they look back in 17 years and smile…
