I see trees of GREEN...

Gosh we have been through so much..      
If you ask me, I will say 14 years...
If you ask him, he will say 10..

We have experienced the three births of our beautiful children...
We have relocated more times than we should
We have experienced the sadness of our two boys' autism diagnosis
We have cried together...
Laughed together....
Funerals, Weddings...
Made important decisions together..
You have proudly allowed me to wear the pants in the family,
....and never once questioned my performance as a wife and mother..


In your eyes I am perfect...no matter how many times I have chased you with a broom around the house..
Or I have yelled at you that we are not getting an industrial grade mop to cover more areas or the kitchen...



























































 
This is only the beginning and for all that we have endured together, I am so excited to see what our journey ahead, with those two sets of feet moving forward will lead us to... It's us, our children and our Lord...




THIS IS IT!!!!




 P.S.
Aunty Berta and Aunty Ella, we wish you were here!!!!!

Thank you so much for the well wishes everyone. This has truly been a test of resilence. It is truly amazing how we have so many goals and desires for ourselves but God is the one who is in charge of when everything falls into place. For that I am wiser, more appreciative and sooo much more humbled. I feel like this is my gestational period. I have a time frame for when I want to come out into the world as who the true Lisa is supposed to be, but heh, as I said, he is the one in charge.. :-)

Lis,

I am very happy for the two of you. Clearly, you both show up as adults for this "job" and tough it out together. Many people LOVE the good times but run for cover when adversity hits...clearly you two brave the storms together and that my friend...is what its about.
Congratulations and may GOD continue to bless you...a wonderul road lies ahead.
Tessa
