My Baby’s Getting Married

Yes, it's official.  My 19 year old son is engaged.  His fiancee is a home school graduate from CO.  She is very sweet.  They make a good couple.  The date is next year (July).  By then, he will have graduated from college. 

I can't help but think back to that little boy I used to cuddle.  He loved to be read to.  He loved to play baseball.  He loved to just be a kid.  As he grew older he became a good cook.  He became a good musician.  He became a young man that was actually fun to be around.  The more he grew into that young man, the less we saw of him.  He went to college and worked 2 jobs.  After falling in love with Sarah, he moved to be closer to her and her family.  It has been sad watching him grow farther from us, but I am proud that he is willing and able to do it. 

We work all those years trying to produce a mature, independent, Christian, young man.  We should be proud when the end result is a mature, independent, Christian young man that needs us less and less.

I love you Matthew and Sarah.
