Happy 6th Anniversary Katie and JD!

I am so excited for Katie and JD…today is their 6 year wedding anniversary and they are going to become parents in 8 weeks!  Katie posted that on her facebook page this morning and it made me wonder…where have all the years gone?  It seems like just yesterday that Katie and I were sharing a room together…sisters who are so much closer now with 400 miles between us!  I have fond memories of making a line down the middle of our room that we dared the other to cross.  The bathroom was on my side of the room and the door to exit the room was on Katie’s.  Since we have a brother to round out our 3 sibling set, our childhood was always a lot of fun when two of us would gang up on the other one….usually Kevin and Katie against me!  But…to this day, I wouldn’t change a thing about growing up with them and am particularly grateful today for my sweet sister Katie and her incredible husband JD.  They are two of the kindest and most generous people that you could ever know.  We just returned from spending a week with them for Christmas.  In two weeks we will return to Memphis to throw a baby shower for Katie and then six weeks later we will head back to meet Baby Graffam.  Our sweet daughter Emma is just as excited as we are and I know she will be a great cousin!  From the moment that Emma first met Katie and JD, she has absolutely adored them and the feeling has been mutual as you can see in the picture below.

We love to tell Katie that if she and JD ever break up…that we are keeping JD!  I am so grateful that God chose such an awesome young man to be my sister’s husband.  JD is creative, thoughtful, generous, and a blast to hang out with.  Katie and I are both so happy to have husbands that are good friends with each other and that are good friends with our brother.  They three guys together are a blast!

I know that things aren’t always perfect in any marriage, but JD is learning to read Katie’s mind and Katie is learning to be more patient 🙂

It seems like only yesterday that we first met JD and saw how much he loved Katie.  I am so glad for the way that God has knitted our families together and given us a rich and fun friendship as well.  I look forward to seeing what the coming days, months, and years hold for the awesome Graffam family and can’t wait to continue this awesome adventure together!

Happy Anniversary Katie and JD…we love you guys!
