The best way to describe our twelve years together – we dance!

We don’t always know the right steps, but we hold on to each other and follow the music.

We refuse to let go of each other, of the moments we get to share in this life we’ve created.

Our dance has often surprised me!

But we’ve learned some things about our tandem rhythm, the music indigenous to our hearts and how to love while our feet keep moving toward some kind of goodness we never imagined before we said “I do” in a small white chapel twelve years ago.

Let’s keep dancing, Hewe!

Thanks to Tina Francis for capturing us amid a dance this past summer in Burundi – a SheLoves Garden Party where we whirled on the lawn amid family and friends.
