10 Years: A Look Back
Ten years ago today, we said “I do.” At that time neither of us knew where we’d end up after a decade of marital bliss. We speculated and dreamed, even drafting a rough ten year plan. But nothing could have prepared us for such a fun-filled, wild, and crazy ride.
Here’s a brief look back:
2000 – Wedding in May; move to a new town, Owen Sound, ON; I start work as a pastor and Erika lands a job teaching at a Christian school.
2001 – Shawna enters the world.
2002 – Our closest Owen Sound friends move to Ottawa.
2003 – We’re first time homeowners! Our new abode is a 2 & 1/2 story brick house on 7th St.
2004 – Erika eats KFC & Elijah is born; We move to Kitchener, ON.
2005 – Jason begins a Master of Arts program. Erika launches her online business.
2006 – Shawna begins J.K. in January; Jason graduates with an M.A. and begins two jobs: director of worship and arts at HMC and teaching at EBC
2007 – We move to a home in the country in Hanover, ON; Erika’s business continues to grow
2008 – Elijah begins J.K.; Shawna enters grade 2
2009 – Shawna and Elijah begin homeschooling their parents
2010 – Jason starts new role at HMC as interim lead pastor; Erika begins exploring new opportunities…
I can’t wait to see what the next ten years will bring.
