So, I have been thinking a lot about Kev and I and our relationship with one another. I think that I am realizing more every day how much I really appreciate him. I am conitnually learning how to rely on someone other than myself. I am learning how to trust someone other than myself. For so many years, it was just me. I made the decisions. I ran my finances. It is amazing how much I appreciate not having to do it by myself anymore. Anyway, I think with Valentine's Day this year, I am realizing more and more how much the past year and a half has had it's challenges, but it is making me more of who I am called to be. It is hard to remember what it was like not having someone by my side: Leading, Loving and Cherishng me. Not because of what I can do for him, but just simply because he loves me for who I am. Enjoy the pictures and the amazing poem Kevin wrote for me on Valentine's Day!
The Engagemant! We are going to be together forever!
Can we say..."future mom"? This is from my bridal shower!
Boston, MA...a great vacation and six-month anniv. trip!
The birth of our little Michayla!
ONE YEAR...Annapolis, MD
One and a half years! We helped out friends Ryan and Denise move to NC.
AND THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
The Search
I searched my soul
I would be willing to break every rule
To find the one who will be mine for life
What will she be like, my wife?
I dreamt of beauty, of brains, of charm
I dreamt of dance
I dreamt of romance
I wanted to know I have what it takes
To be the warrior a good man makes
I thought of what I would say
When I meet her on that destined day.
I searched for longer than ten years
And faced every one of my fears
I searched among the many, I searched among the few
But I closed my eyes when I saw you
Searching for the one who would be mine
I finally saw you and it was like we met for the first time
My heart knew you are the one
And I thought the search ended but it just begun
I search for your true heart always
Because I am truly amazed
When I see who you really are
You exceed my expectations by far
From Kevin to Lesley on Valentines Day, 2008.

I enjoyed seeing these photos especially the six month anniversary one where you are pregnant. You look really cute. I'm so glad you have found someone to cherish and love you.
I am so proud of you Lesley! You have come a long way since moving away from home. Marriage is hard, but it is good! Kevin - I have enjoyed getting to know you! You have such a good heart! The poem is great!
