We had a very full and wonderful first month of marriage. First we celebrated Halloween as Mickey and Minnie with our friends Upper and Lower GI (nurse and med student!)
The next weekend we went to Dallas for Emily and Jay Miller's wedding. The wedding was unbelievable and we loved having the opportunity to celebrate with friends as newlyweds. We stayed with our dear friends Zach and Grace Davis and had a blast all weekend!
We LOVE the beautiful trees in our yard and have really been blessed by their changing colors. But we have also learned that all of these leaves will fall and turn our yard into a swamp of leaves. Bryan worked hard all weekend to rake up these leaves. I was so amazed by all his hard work! 30 bags of leaves!!!
We celebrated Thanksgiving with Bev's side of the family on the Sunday of Thanksgiving week at Jeff and Beth's new home. We love spending time with this family, especially the little ones! They bring so much joy and laughter to everyone.
On Monday of this week we heard more great news. Bryan received the Price Scholarship that will send him to New York City for the summer so he can find an internship that will hopefully develop into a job after graduation. This was a huge goal he set for himself from day one and I am so proud of him for working hard to make it happen. The thought of being here without him for a summer makes me sad, but we both know this is an opportunity and blessing that will be best for our family in the long run. We celebrated this blessing with a bottle of champagne on our front porch watching the sunset.
Looking back on this first month of marriage I am in awe of all the many blessings God has given us: an incredible family, dear friends, a safe home, beautiful trees, brains to learn and help others, and amazing opportunities. We praise you and thank you Lord for your unconditional love!
