Seven years ago, yesterday, Emily and I got married in Leoma, TN. In the last seven years, we've lived in five houses in three states and one foreign country. I've served in two churches and become a chaplain in the army. Emily finished her degree and has taught school in two places. (We're hoping she'll be able to make that three this fall). Somewhere in amongst that, we had two children. She's been remarkably patient and encouraging as I've bounced us around way more than I would have wanted. She raised Isaac alone for his first year while I was in Iraq. I knew seven years ago that I was marrying above my head. Now, I know exactly how far over my head I was marrying.
We spent this weekend in Venice to celebrate (one of the perks of being stationed in Europe is travel). Some friends kept the kids and we wandered up and down canals, museums, and random piazzos sipping espresso and eating gellato. The kids probably had as much fun playing with the Brown family this weekend. Isaac gave them a scare by getting distracted on the staircase and taking a face-first tumble. You can see the black-eye in a few of the pictures in my photo albums. As I was getting ready to take the picture to document his black eye, Emily reminded me that he'd had one in October after he tried to climb a ladder.

So glad you had a good time in Italy, can't wait to see the pictures. Hate that Isaac has a black eye, just wish I could love him. All is well here just very dry, we need rain very badly. Love to each of you.
