It has been a very bumpy, broken road… the last decade and a half. My husband and I have not exactly done things the traditional or easy way. We have made our share of mistakes. We have learned more than our share of lessons. We have witnessed many more miracles than we will ever be worthy of. But God has blessed this broken road.
Eight years’ worth of blessings.
Though we did things our own way in the beginning, and chose our own paths, He saw fit to bring us back to Him and to each other. Praise the Lord for second chances… and praise Him for many more family moments and memories.
Eight years’ worth of memories.
“God bless the broken road…that led me straight back to you!”
Happy 8th Anniversary, Baby!
I am so thankful for the years we have had, and am so excited to see what the future holds for us!
Love you always! XOXO

I am living proof of how the Lord can take a broken life and turn it into something beautiful. Although I am still very far from perfection, I am still a work of His art. My heart's prayer is that "Brokenness into Beauty" will be a source of inspiration and encouragement to all! There is hope, and there is healing on the horizon.

Congratulations on 8 years of marriage! We had our 8th anniversary in March and like you it’s been a long, hard road getting to where we are now….and we still have a ways to go. But I’m thankful that God has kept us together and not given up on us! Hope you have a great anniversary.

@Tyra, Part of our broken road is that we didn’t survive our first marriage (to each other)! We are so thankful for the 8 years we have had since our reconciliation, even if they haven’t been perfect! God is so good, despite our failures! Hugs to you, Tyra! Hang in there!
