Three years ago today, I married Jed in a picturesque field in the mountains of Weaverville, North Carolina. I cannot believe it has been three years already. Now we have made a new home in Dallas, though we still miss the mountains and our wonderful friends there. We have a baby due in a few weeks and will soon be a family of three (plus one wiener dog). We have learned so much about loving each other well, compromise, selfishness and selflessness, getting on the same page about money, serving in ministry together, and being each other’s biggest fan. I’m praying for 67 more years of wedded bliss and life together. Thank you, Jed, for loving me so well and being everything I could ever want or need in a husband. You will be an amazing daddy to our little Bun. I hope we get to dance to our wedding song today.
“Heavenly Day” by Patty Griffin
Oh heavenly day, all the clouds blew away
Got no trouble today with anyone
The smile on your face I live only to see
It’s enough for me, baby, it’s enough for me
Oh, heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day
Tomorrow may rain with sorrow
Here’s a little time we can borrow
Forget all our troubles in these moments so few
All we’ve got right now, the only thing that
All we really have to do
Is have ourselves a heavenly day
Lay here and watch the trees sway
Oh, can’t see no other way, no way, no way
Heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day
No one at my shoulder bringing me fears
Got no clouds up above me bringing me tears
Got nothing to tell you, I’ve got nothing much to say
Only I’m glad to be here with you
On this heavenly, heavenly, heavenly, heavenly
Heavenly day, all the trouble’s gone away
Oh, for a while anyway, for a while anyway
Heavenly day, heavenly day, heavenly day
