In Celebration of the Last Three Years...

Today is our 3rd anniversary. I can't believe we have been married for three years! We have gone through in our marriage... so many good things, some hard things... challenging, growing experiences. It's so fun to look back and see where we've come from; what we've gone through, and how we have changed. I'm so thankful for Jake; he is such an awesome husband. And now, such an awesome father! I am so, so, so blessed. 

Three years ago, almost to the hour, we said "I do" and shared these vows with each other: 


"i promise...


...to hold you accountable in your walk with Christ.
...to seek the truth when tempted by lies.
...to stay present when I want to turn away.
...to choose compassion when anger feels easier.
...to embrace your needs and care about them like my own.
...to turn to you for comfort in all times.
...to love your family like my own.
...to nurture you with love, joy and passion.
...to be a partner in your life, and invite you to be a partner in mine,

until we lay in the arms of Christ."


And just for fun, here's some wedding pictures from the wonderful day!

Happy Anniversary... to us!


Today, Jake and I are celebrating two years of marriage. The past two years have brought us through many different challenges and changes... the most obvious is our location. I'm so thankful that we have each other to lean on! Leaving everything else behind is so much 'easier' when your best friend is right beside you, holding your hand. *sigh* I love him!

Here are a few photos... finally some of us!!

[me with my little baby rabbit friend... s/he belongs to the students, along with the others, that they are raising for meat... but I fell in love with this one and I want to keep it!!]



[sorry it's blurry; we couldn't get it to focus while it was on the timer... background sure looks nice, though!!]



 [do I need a caption for this photo? I don't think so...]
