When our children were very young, someone wisely advised us to pray for their future spouses. It seemed very odd to do that when we couldn't even imagine them taking care of themselves, let alone marrying someone, but we did it anyway (although sporadically at first). As they grew older and we actually could think about them tying the knot someday, our prayers became more and more frequent and earnest, knowing how important their life partners would be. Well.....the beautiful little girl who God picked out special for Drew was about 45 miles away, growing up in a large, wonderful family with Godly parents who loved her and raised her to be a beautiful young woman who loves and serves the Lord. And when I say "beautiful," I certainly mean that she is beautiful on the outside, but much more importantly, she is beautiful on the inside. She is the perfect daughter-in-law, a wonderful wife and amazing mommy.
Elizabeth, we love you and are so thankful that you are part of our family! Happy, happy birthday!!!
