On September 15, Mark and I celebrated ONE YEAR of wedded bliss! OK, so as you all know, the first year is rarely bliss. BUT, we can truly say that God has been faithful to us, giving us more grace and more patience and more love for one another than we ever knew imaginable. We're still learning how to serve one another. We're still learning how to communicate our frustrations and hurts. But most importantly, we are learning to love each other more and more and more. We have always believed that God did this - brought us together for His glory and purpose. As we sat together over a wonderful dinner and "debriefed" this past year, we came to the same conclusion - our story is God's story. He has given us to one another to love, to encourage, to grow, and above all to honor Him. It has been a wild ride! And we can't wait to see what this next year holds!

Can't believe a year has passed. Congratulations! I can tell you from experience that it just gets better and better. Cory and I are going on 7 years and I still get butterflies in my stomach when he comes home from work everyday.
Love you!

Congrats on one year! It will only get better! Learning the ins and outs takes time - but eventually you'll blink your eyes and think "Have we really been married THAT long!"
Sweet blessings!
