Intoduction

William and Jennifer met when they worked at SouthTrust Bank in 2002. After a year of akward flirting and secret crushed, we had our first date ( March 2, 2003). Falling in love did not take much time. We decided to elope via an email conversation while we were at work. We left on a trip to the beach on a Friday and came back the next Tuesday...married!!! ( Ocotber 14, 2003) No one could believe it ... yes, people asked to see the marriage license. We did not tell anyone what we were planning. By February we found out we were pregnant and by May we found out we were having twins. We had a rough pregnancy, but on September 21, 2004, John William Murray Jr. and Clara Grace Murray were born. Within 3 weeks we moved to Cullman and started a life there. Seven months later...guess what.. we were pregnant again. On March 6, 2006, Rainey Elizabeth Murray joined the clan. I hope for more kids in the future, but it may take William a while to agree. We have had many blessings, as well as many trials. Love can endure anything . So, William got a chance to have his dream job...only it was in Anniston(my hometown). With faith in Christ, love for my family, and excitement of a new career...we moved to Anniston. Later to be known as ....The smartest decision we have ever made, with the exception of having babies. William is the Youth Director and the Contemporary Worship Leader for Anniston First United Methodist Church. We love being apart of this church family..as staff and as members. There are so many opportunities before us and we can't wait to embrace them. Nothing is surprising to us anymore.
Our purpose now is to raise our children to love the Lord, be Fishers of Men, show the love of Christ in everything they do, respect authority, love each other, and always find therir way home. The life that we have been blessed with is amazing. There are many times I want to pull my hair out, but for everyone of those moments, there are hugs, kisses, and I Love Yous that out weigh the rest.
1 Corinthisns 13: 4-8a
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails

Jeremiah 17: 7-8
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.
He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
