The First Anniversary



I can't believe that Drew and I have been married one full year. At times it feels like longer but most times it feels shorter than a year because we have done so much in such a little amount of time. Drew and I only met each other 3 years ago and done so much of life together since then.

Here are some of the joys of the past 3 years:
Moody,
bro-sis, graduating, almost having lock-jaw & going to the dentist, going to Chorale concerts, almost getting beat-up in the city, McDonald's, going home for Thanksgiving together so our families could meet and we weren't dating yet, Drew giving me a cookbook before we dated, receiving Parmesan cheese as a gift from Drew once, looking forward to phone messages on my room phone from Drew, going to Dairy Queen, my dad hitting Drew on the head with a tennis ball, Megabus from Toledo to Cleveland, getting a $75 car that still works!, renting the only apt that we had looked at, Myrtle Beach 3 years & running, having 1 car and always riding w/ each other, me driving on longer car trips ( just ask Drew), Buckeyes immersion, Tribe-appreciation, and Cleveland football.... I will never convert: GO CHIEFS!!!, precious little kids dressing up like characters from Little House on the Prairie, making milkshakes and omelets, talking alot all the time to each other, music, rising early to be w/ the Lord, running & praying, The Chapel, the bands, sleeping on our pull-out couch on Christmas Eve waiting for "Santa," Michael Buble, watching all 4 Lethal Weapons & being really sad that there wasn't a 5th, building a tv stand until 2am and realizing the TV is too big for it, the car almost dying on the hill on Smith Road, and the list could go on forever!

But most importantly we have learned so much about each other, the accountability w/ each other to pursue Christ more than we ever have, and to be so honest even when it's hard.
I love my husband.
I thank God for him every day.
The First Year
