Lindsay (and Mark)

I'm trying to make every part of my life reflect my Savior whom I met when I was 7. I fail more often than not it seems but He's always there to show me the right way to go

I'm completely in love with my husband Mark of 11 years,
whom I met at Emmaus Bible College.

June 30th, 2001

And here are some pictures of us in our years since then.

June 2011 on our 10th Anniversary
 
 October 2011 I just like this picture of us...Mark cracks me up.

We have 3 beautiful children.

April 2012
 We had three miscarriages before the Lord blessed us with our little Laina. Someday I'll get to meet my first three babies (Ethan, Sophie, and James) in heaven but for now I'll enjoy the other three He's given me. Along with my wonderful husband who is my other half.
He is a sweet, God fearing man who loves me despite all my faults. In our marriage, we have had some very hard times but it has only proven to strengthen our love for each other.
I have seen Satan attack marriages. It seems a lot lately.
Ward off his whisperings and fully lean on the strength of Christ.
Do not let our hearts grow cold.

Mark and I enjoy doing everything together. He, of course, has his things (golfing and going to the boundary waters) and I have mine (shopping with the ladies in my life) but we don't like to be gone from each other for too long. And miss each other terribly when we are.  We also love doing things as a family. Especially free things, such as going on walks, playing in the lake, going on bike rides, doing city festival things, and whatever else we find that's free. We are homeschooling our kids which has been a lot of fun and, of course, challenging. Each of our kids learns a different way. It's interesting to find the way that's best for each child. Our little family, a dog Chester, and a gerbil Chachi (he's Laina's - she named him) reside in the exotic (not so much...but it IS pretty) city of Buffalo to which we recently moved from a teeny town of 500 people.

And now I hope you enjoy these our ADVENTURES IN BUFFALO.O.O.O
(I can just hear an announcer all deep and echoey....)

This must all be new, Lindsay, or I missed it. How nice to write what you did about your family and your history. You have such a nice little family. I am so sorry about the other 3 little babies. I know it was very hard for you for awhile until Laina came along. Now you have 3 darling blessings that were well worth it! I am so proud of your family and so blessed to be able to share them!! Love, Sally
