Feb. 27 - Happy 40th Birthday Dustin!

On Friday, Feb. 27th, 2009 Dustin turned 40. He is such a wonderful gift from God.

I have been blessed to have shared twenty-three of those forty years with Dustin. Here are a FEW of the monumental moments that I've been able to witness in his life during our twenty-three years together.
  • Senior Year Homecoming for both of our high schools
  • Senior Prom for both of our high schools
  • High School Graduation
  • Marriage
  • Birth of our first child, DJ (Dustin Cash, Jr.)
  • Death of our first child, DJ
  • Birth of our second son
  • College Graduation
  • First teaching job
  • Completing a Marathon
  • Mentoring boys who didn't have fathers
  • Awarded the "You Make a Difference Award" by Alief ISD
  • Birth of our third son
  • Buying our first home
  • Birth of our fourth son
  • Awarded the "Teacher of the Year Award" at Barbara Bush Elementary by Conroe ISD
  • Being called into the ministry as a children's pastor
  • Baptizing children and families that were once former students
  • Baptizing all three of our boys
  • Conducting his first wedding ceremony
  • Conducting his first funeral - A baby boy (This was very personal since we had too)
This list could go on forever....

The Children's ministry staff had a surprise party for him and thankfully I was able to attend. They also blessed him with a new Bible that they had all signed and written favorite Bible verses. They also blessed him with a gift card and a cross that was made from huge nails.

Thank you God for allowing me to share this journey with Dustin.
