God is so good to us, and in so many ways.
He got Austin and I together, and grew and changed each of us in huge ways in our relationship.
He provided for our dates, and later, a great date - a picnic in Hermann Park on November 19, 2010 and for the ring Austin put on my finger.
He also allowed us to plan this wedding and enjoy it with 190 of our family and friends.
He even made it rain on our wedding day, June 10th, even though Houston, Texas is in extreme drought!
He provided a completely free honeymoon, courtesy of our family and friends (Matt was a big part of it).
And now He's providing for us to move to Clarksville, and somehow - it seems - pay for everything we need.
Anyway, I just think it's amazing. Your whole life (at least mine) you wonder who you'll marry and then you find him and it all just makes sense - God's been planning this for... since.... uh, infiniti? Yes. Unimaginable.
What's funny is when I was little (not kidding) I used to dream I was marrying a blonde guy. I didn't know any blonde guys (I was probably 5) like that so I thought it was just a dream. Funny how things work out :)
I'm just grateful for Jesus. I'm thankful for Who He Is and what He has done, in the most simple terms. I'm thankful that He sees fit to mesh me with Austin - he is patient and understanding, and he is a fantastic leader, navigator, love, and provider. He jokes with me constantly, but knows when to snuggle and be sweet, and he certainly is good at taking care of me. God provided all of those things in a man for me to help keep me under control (I can be a mess).
I love this little thing called marriage, and I know it's only ten days in, but I am grateful and celebrating what we have. We're already learning and excited to see where God takes us!
I love you Austin Michael!
Love,
Elizabeth Haynes
