Five Years

While my scanner somehow managed to make this photo look like it was taken by a 1970s-era Polaroid camera, it was five years ago today that I made the best decision of my life. (Those of you who know how indecisive I am may interject that it was the only decision I ever made; if so, I’m glad it was such a good one.)

Five years of marriage to the most wonderful, beautiful, loving, difficult, stubborn, challenging, amazing woman I have ever met. I’ll never forget the first time I saw her walking down the aisle - my heart skipped a beat. She was stunning, her radiant smile beaming out from beneath her veil. I was so sure that morning that it didn’t even occur to me what a nervous smile it was on her part (and to be sure, I was getting by far the better part of the deal.)

I love her more now than I did then. And there’s so much more room to grow.

Thanks, Jamie, for being my everything.

    God bless you Steve. Take care of your your lovely wife and never give up being generous and charitable to each other. As for your children (I am not sure if you have), be sure that they will learn to love His Church i.e. His Wife, as you love yours. After a few months visiting your website it was a most pleasant surprise to see such lovely faces behind the challenging debate and good doctrine.
    May God give you both many years of happiness.
    Best,

    Then let me add my belated congrats–may you both have many, many more happy years together. My wife and I are almost at 9 years and that is something I can’t quite get my head around.

    One more thing:

    Come on, nobody is going to make a crack about the height difference? And she’s wearing platforms!!!
