Thankful

The plan was to post this once internet was installed at the house, but not sure when that will happen, so here we go anyways.

I want to take this post to simply say thank you.

Firstly to God. If it weren't for God and for Jesus coming back from the dead. I would never have been in this position to even know most of these people, including my new wife. So thank you Father, for your faithfulness and every blessing that you have poured out on us. Thank you.

The rest will be stream of consciousness in no particular order:

Thank you to my family. My mom and dad and brother for their support the past four and a half years. And for dropping everything to come over and celebrate here with us. It meant the world for Anne and me that you were here. Also to my extended family on both sides. For my mom's parents for their prayers, letters and encouragement and for their love. For all my dad's sisters and brothers-in-law, and all of my cousins. Again it meant so much to Anne and I for waking up so early to watch our wedding online, and even bake a cake to celebrate with us. We can't wait to get back to Missouri to see you all and introduce Anne to you in person. Thank you for helping make our day that much more special.

Thank you to Anne's family as well. For their support of the marriage, for encouraging us and helping us get the last few things in place for ceremony and reception to be great. Thank you to all of you who were able to come to the wedding and share in our celebration.

Thank you ladies for taking the time during the midst of planning, organizing and preparing for the wedding in the midst of your busy lives to also put on a wedding shower for Anne.

If for some reason as Anne and I were writing this we forgot someone or something, we ask for your forgiveness and still say thank you.

 Thank you our wedding gifts that when so far beyond our expectations and helped us get a few needed items for the house as well as get us through the rest of the month.
