Some days stay in your memory because something momentous happened in your life.  You made a decision which changed the course of your life.  You met someone who showed you a kindness you would not soon forget.  Love overcame fear and took you on a wonderful journey to being who you are today.

That pretty much describes what happened 40 years ago to Randy and I.  After two years of dating, we were united in marriage before God and family and friends in the church where I grew up.  We honeymooned in West Virginia and I moved to VA, where we have lived for forty years.

Along the way, God has been so good to us.  We worked various jobs and started our photography company.  We photographed many weddings in our 25 years as wedding photographers.  And many pets and families and other portraits and events along the way.  I began a clothing ministry at our church that grew to serving 5,000 people a year all over the world.  We made friends in the Young Marrieds class who are still friends in our TeamMates Sunday school class.  We have two children and are blessed with two grandchildren.
