Jay and Carrie's History

Jay and I met in Michigan in 2004 at a conference with our church. From the minute we met, we knew that God had brought us together, as we had the same future goals and the same desire to serve the Lord. We were married in January of 2005, and started our new life together in Downey, California, where we could be close to Jay's family for the first few years of our marriage. Our lives changed when we went to Ecuador in 2007 and then after being there, stayed in California from May to October of 2008, eventually moving to Chicago to be close to my family. Although our marriage has been through a lot of challenges and changes, God has been there to uphold us and encourage us at every turn. We are thankful now to be residing in Chicago with my family, and not only this, that I am pregnant with our first baby! We are so excited, and can't wait for the baby to be born, grow up and be all that God wants him or her to be. We'll be posting information as more happens with the pregnancy, so please all-happy reading! We also want to use this to keep our precious families informed of what's going on in our lives. We think this will be a good tool. Well, that's all for now.
