In sickness and in health a vow whispered on sacred ground, yet lived out loud in the quiet, unseen moments where love is tested, and still, it rises. We’ve known the highs that lift us into light, and the lows that teach us how to hold each other tighter. And through it all, you, my heart, my home, have stood with grace that humbles me and strength that steadies us. Ashley turned 30 this year, a radiant milestone that marks not just her life, but ten years since I knelt before a room full of souls, asking her to walk this road with me. And this year, I asked again not in a crowd, but in the soft stillness of our new home, keys in hand, hearts wide open, renewing vows not just with words, but with the lives we’ve built. There is no gift greater than the way you love the way you mother our children with tenderness, the way you carry me through seasons I never imagined needing you so much. Your love is healing, your mercy, my refuge. Your encouragement has been a lifeline more precious than the new diamond that now graces your hand. Here’s to a thousand more years of building not just a home, but a Holy Spirit filled sanctuary. Not just a life, but a legacy of love. Forever yours, with all the love I know how to give.
