Five Years Ago ....

JoAnna and Andrew were married


May 18, 2007


It was a fun, memory filled day.
What a joy to begin the blending 
of two families....
What a joy to see a new family begin ...

These pictures are


known as the 


"first look" pictures.


One photographer 


focused on


each of them ...


to capture the first time they


saw each other in


their wedding attire.

I think their faces show

what was in their hearts that day!

Julia, JoAnna and Jeshan

The verse on their 

wedding invitation was,

" ... this is my beloved

and 

this is my friend ..."

Song of Solomon 5:16

It is such a joy to see JoAnna and Andrew

grow in their relationship with one another

and

in their love and walk with our LORD.

Truly they desire to serve Him

with joy and kindness.

"I will bless the LORD at all times,

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul makes its boast in the LORD;

let the humble hear and be glad.

O magnify the LORD with me,

and let us exalt His name together."

Psalm 34:1-3

I promise ... till the LORD comes
for us or until one of us
is called Home.

Promising their lives to

each other ...

for richer, for poorer;

for better for worse ...

forever ... till

the LORD parts us!

Here is JoAnna and Andrew

with 8 of the 9 grandchildren of

ours at the time.
