I DO

Once Upon A Time (14 years ago to be exact) Jeff and Wendy went for a hike in the woods to a glorious cabin (a mouse infested little building). It was a beautiful, Snowy, January Day with the sun shining and wind blowing. The hike out to the cabin was wonderful. This " glorious cabin" as Jeff remembered it (Wendy knew it as a hunting shack for her uncles) was the place he asked Wendy to be his wife, she said yes! Such a happy day (even the mice were rejoicing). The time came for Jeff and Wendy to hike back to the car. The wind was howling and the snow was blowing and the sun was setting. Jeff and Wendy encountered 5 ft drifts on their way back (not bad unless you are only 5'2" on a good day). Jeff and Wendy made it back to the car and slowly drove away, back towards Wendy's Grandma's home where steak was waiting for them. This was the last steak Wendy ever made Jeff. Such a sad thought...

Jeff and Wendy are still married and remember fondly back on that day. Jeff and Wendy now have 4 beautiful kids who do not let one mundane day go by...life is FULLY lived and each day is not boring. Jeff and Wendy are so grateful to God for his leading and His mercy and His strength and His love! Amazing it is!!!

P.S. Jeff and Wendy would still say "I Do" in a wonderful snow filled heartbeat!
