It’s hard to believe that Franicia and I met 18 -- yes, EIGHTEEN -- years ago! I graduated 15 years ago and, 15 years ago, we were married. 14 commands, 11 moves, 10 houses, 7 children, 6 churches, and 4 overseas moves later, Franicia and I are happier and more in-love than we’ve ever been. Franicia gets more beautiful every day -- she’s amazing. She’s a wonderful wife, a loving mommy, a brilliant woman, and the most amazing person that I’ve ever known. 
 
I knew that she was the one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with when I asked her to marry me. That’s a funny story, by-the-way. I’ll have to share it some time. 
 
Franicia, I love you and am so thankful that you agreed to marry me and joined with me in “holy matrimony” 15 short years ago! It’s been so wonderful being married to my best friend, and I look forward to seeing what the Lord does in our lives!
