It's been one year

oday, Stephen and I have been married for one year. We woke up, grabbed a cup of coffee, and made our way to church to soak up God's message. It is important to us to remember the promise we made to God, our friends, and family to continually glorify Him throughout our relationship. Our wedding couldn't have been more amazing. Our closest friends and family members were all there to celebrate our promise to ourselves and to God that we will stand by each other's sides. This year has been nothing short of amazing. We have grown so much in our relationship, reached personal goals, and supported each other through it all. Stephen, you are my best friend, husband, and biggest fan. Thank you for all your love and support. I cannot imagine my life without you and I CANNOT WAIT to see what the Lord has in store for us next. I love you more and more each day of our marriage and I am so thankful that we found each other. You are truly incredible. I love you.

Stephen would kill me if he knew I am posting this photo (he will find out after I tell him this post is up :) but I just had to share Stephen's success and his accomplishment with his goal this year. I am SO proud of him.  
 
Earlier this year, Stephen and I wrote out our goals for the year in our relationship and careers. One goal Stephen had was to win a tournament. Stephen is pursuing his dream to play professional golf. For those that know what the game of golf is like, you know it's a HARD and long path to the PGA tour but little by little Stephen is reaching his goal. He is content where is now and I am SO proud of him for winning his first amateur tournament. GO STEVE!

A few posts back, I mentioned that I was featured in my first magazine. A goal of mine for this year was also accomplished. This year has been more than we could have hoped for. And.... of course little Margo had to make the post. Her little gray beard is growing too. :)

And our little family.... we took this on a timer in our little living room which has no floor at the moment. We are sitting on our cement floors that we hope to have gone soon. :) Oh the joy of being newlyweds and figuring out things together!
