Today is our Katie and Andrew’s 3rd wedding anniversary. He is in Afghanistan and she is in the Seattle area. Quite far apart but close in heart.
Katie was trying to calculate how many days they’ve actually been together in these 3 short years. They’ve spent a lot of days apart because of Andrew’s service in the Marines. That’s the way it is and that’s what they signed up for. It’s good to understand that going in and then it’s good to have the support of God, family and friends to get you through.
Happy Anniversary you two. May God bring Andrew home safe and may he bless you with many years of growing together in love for each other and for God who is the architect of marriage.

Happy Anniversary to this lovely couple. May they have many happy years of marriage to make up for all the time they’ve had to spend apart. Young people like this make us all proud! xoxox
Oh Ellen, this is so sweet. I have a lump in my throat now. Your Andrew is such a good man to serve his country this way. I’m sure it’s not easy on him or Katie; I will keep them both in my prayers. My very best wishes to Andrew and Katie on their wedding anniversary, and many more in the years ahead!
Hugs,

But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
