Every good and perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows.
James 1:17

Nate and I got engaged on December 10th, 2005. Surprise day trip to Whistler. The day held intense goodness. I thank God for His presence. For His plan of marriage. For the depth and richness of love. He does not change.

Thank you Father.
