"I cannot fix on the hour, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew I had begun." I do, however, remember the first time I heard her laughter. To hear her laughter every day is one of the greatest things in the world. It was a Sunday morning at FCC. I had just moved to Washington from California and was living in my dad's garage that had no windows and no heater. Bethany was about to start her first year of teaching at SMS and was still sleeping on her parents's couch. During the greeting time at church, Bethany said, "Hi," and asked me how I was doing. I shrugged and replied, "Just livin' the dream." And then she laughed. And the rest is history. And I can't wait to hear her laugh every single day for the rest of our lives. - JG
