Following two long-term marriages (David–32 years and Leslie–25 years) and two journeys through divorce, David and Leslie Thacker met in church choir.  They dated, got engaged, and married in 2017.  Combined, they have five children and will have their fourth grandchild this year.  Their children range in age from 33 years to 10 years old, and four of the five children are adults in various stages of life (married, single, careers, and with children).  The story of their blended family is being written and remains a work in progress, but they are eager to share what they have learned and how God has helped them blend into one family with others.
