Thankful!
This afternoon and evening, I went to the wedding of a co-worker with my beautiful bride. Here’s a picture of us before we left. I’m so thankful for today and for Leanne.

You might be wondering where the “Stretched” thing comes from. For starters, when I was in high school at Rancocas Valley Regional High School, I was short – 5’6″ to start my junior year. Since then, I’ve grown to almost 6’6″. Many of my friends started calling me Stretch.
On a more recent basis, I often feel “stretched” by all the things going on around me – career, marriage, parenting, church, running, reading, friendships, extended family, relationship with God, etc. (in no particular order). My hope is that this blog will provide an opportunity to express some of my “stretch marks” and to possibly hear your thoughts as well. 
So here is a bit more about me: I’m a Christ-follower, husband, dad, son, uncle, engineer, runner, chicken farmer, gardener, saxophone player, operations manager, adventurer, and the list goes on…. I’m extremely blessed to have the best wife in the whole world. We met at Grove City College. We were engaged on top of the Eiffel Tower. We got married in Greensburg, PA. Now, we live in Schwenksville, PA with our two incredible kids, and our black lab.

I love you both so much! Hope you enjoyed your time at the wedding and reception together. Hope we get to catch up with you soon. Sorry we missed our time on skype or the phone yesterday. Love to Hannah and Isaac, too.
I am so THANKFUL for you, Jon, and for the strength that God is giving you each day. I am so thankful for Leanne and for the healing that is taking place every day. And I am so thankful that God has put you in our lives to be the husband of Leanne that she needs and to be the father of our grandchildren, Hannah and Isaac that they need, and the son that Dad and I never had before. We are so grateful for all of these blessings. Hugs to all of you. Love ya. Mother L. and Dad L.
