As we look forward to celebrating our first anniversary, I've noticed that a lot of our conversations start with, "this time last year..." For example: this time last year, my family had just learned the exciting news that my sister was going to have a baby, and we were making sure everything was ready to go for our wedding. Actually, on this very day last year, the girls and I were enjoying a day of pampering... massages, getting nails done, etc. Friends and family had been arriving from out of town and we had our rehearsal dinner at Lou Malnati's (where we'd had our first date 3 years earlier). That was followed by a fitful, if not altogether sleepless, night due to the excitement, anticipation, and (I'm sure) nerves about the next day's events. :) Now, here we are one year later, looking back on what we think was a perfect wedding day, watching our family (both immediate and extended) grow, and wishing we had another reason to get everyone together again! Time sure does fly!
As we've reflected on this past year... all the fun we've had, good times and not-so-good times, memories made, etc... we know we have a lot to be thankful for! There is no doubt in my mind that we would not be where we are today without God's hand being constantly at work in our lives. He has healed us, challenged us, grown us, and made us into who we are today. And the best part is -- He's just getting started! :)
This has been an incredible year! Not perfect, by any means, but definitely incredible. At this point, we have a lot to be thankful for as well as a lot to look forward to. And we're excited for all that God has in store for us in the years to come!
I thought I would add a few pictures from our wedding to finish this entry off... enjoy ~
