Brag Time

I just wanted to post some new pictures of our niece and nephew. They are just too cute.
I was talking on the phone to my sister-in-law Stephanie a few weeks ago and she was telling me how Elliott loves basketball and baseball clothes. But she said he doesn't like to mix the two. You can't wear basketball shorts with a baseball shirt....that would be silly! He is too cute.

Preston was talking to Elliott on the phone a few weeks ago and Preston was asking him about his new Larry Boy movie. Elliott said "Yes, my baby got that for me" We thought that was so funny. He was calling his new sister His Baby!

Here are some new Emerson pictures



I love this picture of Jason reading to both the kids. Look how much Emerson is paying attention.
What a cute little family. We miss them terribly. We can't wait to squeeze those little kids!
We love you!!

MI AMOR!!!!


Happy Anniversary!!!!! You thought that I had forgot to make you an anniversary card. I just planned to mix things up this year. When I was engaged to you, I was asked by the famous Dan Hedrick why I was marrying you. The quick (but always thought out) answer was because I knew that we were so much better together as a team than we could ever be apart from each other. Over our first four years of Marriage, I have learned just how true that is. I need you so much in my life. You complete the team. You are what completes my very soul. I love you with all that is in me. I am so thankful the Lord has allowed his love to continue to overflow in our marriage. You are an extraordinary person. I would have given up everything to see what God has done in your life. Every day you continue to amaze me. It is a the joy of my day to get to share life with you. Our marriage reminds me every day that their are still good things in this world. Thank you for the gift of marriage and most of all thank you for sharing the adventure of life with me. You are my soul mate. You really are my angel who doesn't wear any wings (stole that from Jack Johnson).

To try and describe your beauty would take
More than Words
Sharing this adventure with you is better than
Words can Describe
The glance of your smile leaves me at a
Loss for Words
In the end I want you to remember
Three Simple Words

I LOVE YOU

4 Years of Bliss!!

Preston and I celebrate 4 years of blissful marriage today. I never knew I could love one person so much. We have actually lived longer in Mexico than in the U.S our married life. So we have been through and experienced so much together.

Dan (who has discipled Preston for many years) would want to ask us "what is something new you have learned about the other person.

Courtney: I have learned so much about Preston. I have continued to see his heart burn with a passion for the lost. He continues to amaze me how his passion for the lost is what keeps him going. Also as a Malesky family we have experienced some hard things this past year. I have seen Preston step up with me and love my family as his very own. I have heard him voice prayers of concern for my family and it has touched something deep inside of me to know that he loves me so much and he loves my family as his own.

Preston:I have learned a lot about Courtney in this last year. It has been neat to learn just how resilient she is. Like Courtney said before, we have gone through a lot this past year. Well to add to that really a lot has happened in our first four years together. Through it all Courtney has been resilient to love the Father and love me also. I am so thankful that she continues to fight the good fight that God has called us to heavenward. I have seen more and more just how badly Courtney wants to approach every situation the way God would have us. I love that in her and am learning more about her every day.


Here are some pictures of us throughout the years!!

Preston, you have been amazing this year. You have held me through the tears. Made me laugh until my side hurt and have always been my rock in times of hurt. Thanks for always leading and guiding me to our Main Source of Strength, Jesus Christ! I love you!
Happy Anniversary!!
