Sunday, June 1st was our 6 year anniversary. We dated for 3 years before we got married, so that’s a total of 9 years together. It’s hard to believe how much we’ve been able to do, see and all the places we’ve gone in the last 6 years. I certainly never thought I’d have my first baby after 5 years of marriage and that we would have him overseas. It seems that all my plans have not been the same as God’s. Although it’s been 6 hard years in many ways (especially the last 2), it’s also been 6 wonderful years. I’m so grateful for Aaron. Everyday, he continues to amaze me. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband.
And for our anniversary present – Josiah took his first steps! Thankfully, Aaron and I were both there to see it. He took 2 wobbly steps before collapsing into my arms. He’s not my baby anymore! I’m so amazed by the wonder of parenting. To see this tiny infant, born so helpless and then suddenly one day, he’s taking his first steps into my arms. Amazing.
Sorry there aren’t any pictures, but we can’t upload them at the internet café. You’ll just have to wait another week and a half until we get home.

Congratulations on 6 years! Mark and I celebrated 7 in May. Isn't it such a blessing to have such gifts. I know I cherish Mark more and more each day and I know that it is the same for you with Aaron.
Also, hooray for walking!! I can't believe he will be walking the first time I get to meet Josiah in person. How cool that you BOTH got to experience that. Love you!
This July it'll be nine years for Rebecca and myself.
And thanks for posting; after waiting three weeks since your last one, I was getting kinda nervous.
Oh, for Melanie: Jay's no longer at IBM; he took a position at the Manpower corporate office.
Woo-hoo Josiah! He's a big boy now!
Happy anniversary!!
