A Page Is Turned....

A page is turned by the wind to a boy in curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told
He finds salvation but not at the hands of man

And the God of second chance
Picked him up and He let him dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing him, the one
To hold him up when he comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And now a man, here you stand
Your day has come



A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl
With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled
By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow
With a careful cover of love that will not fail

And the God of second chance
Picked her up and He let her dance
Through a world that isn't kind
And all this time, preparing her the one
To hold her up when she comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And grown up tall, here you are
Your day has come

Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by his hand
And warm within the ardor, she took his heart instead
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand
Just for her hand







A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife
And there is no secret to the source of this much life
When the grace that falls like rain is washing them again
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land










Where the God of second chance
Will pick them up and he'll let them dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, they're sharing with the one
That holds them up when they come undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And once again, here you stand
And once again, here you stand
Your day has come



This day is a very special day because exactly 4 years ago Michael and I got engaged in Bryson City, North Carolina.


On this day exactly 3 years ago- we got married.

The words that you read above are words from the song A Page Is Turned by Bebo Norman. We played that song at our rehearsal dinner and showed a slideshow of pictures with it. It is one of the most beautiful songs ever, just reading the words doesn't really do it justice. When I first heard it, I felt like it was written for us. Right there in the middle it has the part about "high up on the mountain, he asked her for her hand" and since we did get engaged up on a mountain it just seemed perfect.

I remember our wedding day like it was yesterday. I remember thinking that I couldn't believe we were actually getting married.

Now looking back it seems like such a short time ago- but our life together has changed so much since then.

We celebrated one year....



We celebrated two years....



We said goodbye to some along the way....



We said hello to a few also...



We are definitely not the same people we were 3 years ago...





But I would say our life is much richer than it is has ever been.





And even though A LOT has changed....

I still love you, Michael, even more than I did on this day 3 years ago.





Happy Anniversary!!!!
