As I was browsing through old pictures this week, I began to wonder, how that junior higher with thick glasses, braces, bobbed hair that hit the top of her ears and no sense of style got to marry Stephen Altrogge.
Whenever we were engaged, I would have surely said I loved him. As the months have gone by, though, I have come to love him on a deeper level. Although I knew many reasons why I wanted to marry him, the Lord had much more in mind.
Marriage is a wonderful gift from the Lord. You see, as time passes, as Stephen and I walk through changes in life, become more sanctified and learn to understand each other, I see how the Lord fashioned him just for me. He is a godly leader, gracious and forgiving, lovingly patient, hilarious and a servant at home. His strengths excel, where I am weak. I have grown in my love for the Lord, through Stephen’s prayer, godly leadership and care for me.
I anticipate all the Lord will do in our marriage in the upcoming year. Today, my heart is lifted up in praise to the Him, and none other, for His kindness. It is all by His grace.
I love you, Stephen
Happy 1 Anniversary

You had me stumped. I thought, man, I'm outta the loop. What's the "h" for. Ha.
well you know... typing...
how important is it really?
the first photo is my favorite of the three, by the way...
Beth,
Not very...especially when you're a rising photographer.
Hey Jen,
This isn't fair. I can't read your blog without starting to cry.
Love, Mark
