This was a wedding I asked Sadie to attend with me before we officially started dating. (She still gives me crap about not asking her to be my girlfriend that day).

We were in our early 20’s (I might have even been 19 still) and I knew I loved the person in front of me.

Fast forward nearly 10 years and I’ve seen and loved the stages she’s journeyed on.

- being the first in her family to graduate college
- finding a calling to ministry and just saying “yes” to whatever God had for her.
- finding a path to to heal and grow despite what she’d been through.

And although these journeys are great, the last few journeys she’s been on have been my favorite to watch and be a part of.

- using her gifts and passions to glorify God through music.
- watching her fulfill and strive at all the “mom things” she always talked about before we had kids.
- being a spouse I can trust and rely on, especially through all the adult curveballs.
- and many more.

Every version of her has been amazing. But I have a feeling version 3.0 (get it?) will lead to even more amazing things ahead 🙌🏻

All that to say, happy 30th Sadie Jo. You deserve the best and I hope I can give you that!

Thanks for being my favorite 30 year old :)

What a life we’ve built together ❤️
