Amanda and Joe

Amanda and Joe are beautiful people. Pretty and almost perfect it seems on the outside. You won't tire of looking at their pretty faces......



It is the inside you will want to know. They are real. Real as in what you wish you could be...Who you hope your children will be....Surrounded by love of friends who are just as kind. Who give just as much.

Four years ago Brian and I had the privilege of going through our adoption process with Dawn and Mike Husnick. They adopted Sammy a perfect boy from China and we adopted Zachary a perfect boy from China. Our Journey adopting these boys from China had changed who we are. God's hand has been on this process the whole way.

It is their Daughter Amanda who I never had the Chance to meet who married Joe-

My faith no secret to most, It is important in this story as it is who I am....I Am a Christian. A believer in Christ. A follower of what I Believe is the greatest job of all ...to have faith, to love purely and give with out limits, to trust when you are unsure.

I fail that part alot... the trust ...you see I like to control...This summer work has been abundant. I feel blessed but unsure...My kids have been top on the list for so long....

However after just two nights with Amanda and Joe and the joy surrounding them with gifts of prayer and love from family and friends i am renewed in my faith in where my family will grow in Christ.

Both the Husnicks and the Hofbauer families are an amazing group who have raised amazing people. By far this wedding was the one that touched my heart the most...
It was God's hand on it all that was apparent to all who know them and their faith.

Just when I thought this busy wedding season was too much time away from my much loved biological and adopted Children ...God showed me how fulfilling my job is ... how much I can gain from my chosen career. I see the joy of love, the sacred ceremony of marriage, the fruits of years of raising children ....the result a wedding day like Amanda and Joe's! I get a chance to learn from those who are in love the most. I see that I can still work and love what I do, and be blessed by the gifts my clients teach me...

I see why God placed the Husnick family in our lives. Friends we love so much. Friends who give so freely. Privileged now to have also met the Hofbauer family. Blessed to have the job i have....to capture the joy of marriage and the hand God places on each and every one of us.

Amanda, Joe, Husnicka and Hofbauers, THANK YOU for sharing with me your day and who you are -
