On September 26th, 1998, a beautiful warm day in Baltimore, Maryland, I publicly confessed my love and commitment to Mark Raudenbush and pledged to be his wife. Today is the 10th anniversary of that day. Sometimes, it seems like those 10 years have gone by in a flash–so many memories come to mind as I think about the past 10 years and I am reminded that a lot has happened during this time. Dad died when we were only married a year, buying our first house, struggling as we tried to grow our family, 4 times losing a baby, giving birth to our 3 children Evan, Ashlyn, and Drew, buying our second (and final?) house, job changes…they seem like just words when I type them out here. And, I guess they are. But, behind them are rich memories and lots of experiences of God’s goodness to us through good and bad times and our faithful love for each other. Happy anniversary, Mark.
