Exactly two years ago, I got married.
we, got married.
It has been an adventure beyond my dreams,
with a man that adores and honors and loves me deeper and
higher than I’ve ever known in this world.
a love certainly, that I don’t deserve.
It is a mystery to me, this bond in marriage.
It is sacred and holy,
crazy and wild,
hysterical
and serious
All at the same time.
Today, in honor of our anniversary, I thought I’d share a
special treasure of our love story with you.
Kevin’s proposal was absolutely epic and beyond my
imagination.
That boy can be ridiculously creative when he wants to!
As part of
the proposal, his sister and brother-in-law surprised me with a song
they wrote specifically for Kevin and I.
Talk about tear-city…I laughed. I cried. It was a lyrical love
fest to our ears!
and it is just
plain beautiful.
I think it is my most played song in itunes:)
Both hilarious and serious, this song tells our story in a
brilliant way.
It also inspires me to know that our love can be a ministry
of grace to each other, and to others.
Jeff and Kristi, thank you for one of the greatest gifts we've received as a couple.
You can listen to it here,
{you have to let it load, and be patient, but it will work!}
{you have to let it load, and be patient, but it will work!}
And the words are below.
Enjoy!

Katie was living in Chico land
When she got a job south and moved to follow His plan
In books, Jane Austen is her number one pick
But the Sound of Music is her favorite flick
She loves to bless people just like Jesus would,
Making life fun as she moves throughout her hood
Little did she know about the people she would meet
Especially a man who would sweep her off her feet
Kevin Cook, yeah, he’s our little bro,
He used to wear his hair in a really sick afro
What we want to say is that he aign’t no plain Joe
He’s seeking Jesus and he just wants to know him more
Bean counter by trade, don’t let it scare you away
He’s been to Chico, Indo, Nepal in these last few days
Logically his wake has caused a Kevin Cook craze
But a fair maiden from Chico has captured his gaze
{chorus}
We love how He’s using you
Grace is moving through all you do
We love how you bring to life,
The sparkle in each other’s eyes
Katie was living in Kevin’s upper floor
But it was Katie’s personality he was starting to adore
It wasn’t a surprise when they started hanging more
Wondering what God might have in store
If Kevin was a brownie and Katie was ice cream
You may be a bit confused and ask us what this means
But brownies are yummy and ice cream is so sweet
And only putting them together can you make them more
complete
We love how’s he using you
Grace is moving through all you do
We love how you bring to life,
The sparkle in each other’s eyes
Happy anniversary Kev,
I love you with all that is in me.
Katie
ps- I hope you'll all join me for the photo shoot link-up this Thursday the 15th! It will be such a great way to be inspired, and get creative, not to mention meet some new friends:)
