My Love


Three years ago today I married the love of my life. We had the most perfect wedding and honeymoon. No thought to how we would pay off our wedding/honeymoon debt. Or how we would all learn to live and love together as a family of 6. Alex (my oldest child) went from being an only child to having a step dad, two step brothers and within 1 year a baby sister (we didn’t plan that one either- God did) I thought we would have a perfect/American dream house that had perfect décor. The fact is we don’t even own a house and that's ok. Sometimes God has other plans, and I’m glad He does. You see God knew exactly what he was doing when he made us a family. And just so you know all that American Dream stuff- it really doesn’t matter. But that is another day and another blog post.

So today I celebrate my love for Chris and the marriage God has blessed us and continues to bless us with!
I love Chris for so many reasons. Because he is a Godly man and leader to our McConnell Mob, he is loving, caring, laid back, a handy man, smart, witty, humble, honest, how he kisses me every morning before he leaves for work; how he still tells me I’m his hottie and sends me sweet texts. How he dances with me in kitchen, holds me when I cry, prays with me out loud, works hard for our family to provide and for me to stay home with our kids. I love how he strives to be Christ like, how he wants to serve others, how he listens to me constantly talk about when and if we can adopt, I love that he gets excited about us serving locally and in Haiti. Really when it comes down to it I’m just thankful that he is in Love with Jesus because without that the rest wouldn’t fall into place! I can’t wait, and am so very excited to see what the next three years will hold.
Here is a  peak into the day we became ONE.
