Today marks the 17th year that I’ve had the privilege of being with my wonderful bride. She is my best friend and companion, and I love her more today than I did 17 years ago!
Cathy and I climbed a mountain near Ebensee, Austria* back in July of 1987. About a year later we married. Now 17 years later we live just a day’s drive from this significant spot in our history. At the time, if you told us we would be living here it would have been exactly what we expected. But life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect, and after a few years of life in the U.S. we figured Hungary was not in our future.
God has a way of keeping things together and bringing things around that amazes me.
*In doing a Google search on Ebensee, Austria today I discovered there were the ruins of a Nazi labor camp below us as we climbed this mountain together back in 1987.

Thanks, Jer. I love you, too! And I can’t believe I let you wear that hat all day : )
