Clint and I have been friends for a very long time. I was actually terrified of him when we met because he was playing basketball and missed a shot and literally ripped the shirt he was wearing off his body. Not. Even. Kidding. Yes, I was scared. Somehow we became friends, and he has easily become one of my favorite people. He is kind, generous, gentle, protective and very loyal and a prayer warrior for so many people in his life.

Carrie. When I officially met Carrie I knew instantly Clint would marry her. She adored Clint in a way that I had not seen any other girl do. She is full of sass and speaks her mind and also has so much wisdom and is life giving. I liked her right away and she has also become one of my favorite people. I love that we can sit down and dive right into hard conversations. I appreciate her desire for truth and knowing and loving people well. She has been such a sweet friend to me.

When they got married I didn't give them an option on who was going to take their wedding photos, clearly, it was going to be me. :) Thankfully they agreed. And NOW they have a little one! Olive Noble Gifford. Oh Olive, you are so incredibly blessed to have these two as your parents.

To be continued...
