Happy Birthday, Alyssa

...my daughter-in-law turns thirty-something


Ian and Alyssa actually knew each other in high school primarily because Ian was friends with Alyssa's brother, Chris. While Ian was a sophomore, Lyss was a senior. They were acquainted, but that was it. Some years later, however, when Lyss was a student at the University of South Carolina (in Columbia, SC), Ian and Chris moved there to be interns in a church youth program. Acquaintances become friends, friendship sometimes becomes romance, and when Ian said "will you", she said " yes". God truly blessed us, and blessed our son, when he brought Alyssa into our lives.

Interestingly, some years ago, before Ian and Lyss were even dating, I worked in our church youth ministry with Lyssa's mother, Jan. One day we were talking about our respective children and we both wondered out loud, wouldn't it be great if Ian and Lyss got together--they would make such beautiful babies. Well, I'll let you be the judge of that outcome as you look at the pictures. If you'd like to see more of Liam and the Family Byrd in Albuquerque, click Here

God is good. He blessed us with Alyssa. Happy Birthday to the woman who makes our son so happy! !
