4th anniversary getaway!
We went to a spot we had enjoyed before and put a blanket out to soak up the scenery and watch the sunset.
After double overtime we pulled out a 6 point win! Whew that was close... and sadly only UAB.
BUT we did get a WIN for Griffin's first game!!!

Happy 4 Year Anniversary to US!

Happy 4 year anniversary my love! It is always so fun to look back at our wedding day pictures and realize how little we knew then ha! Marriage has become so much more than "happiness" over the years and I am just so grateful that God continues to teach us the real purpose of it- to glorify Him. I know there have been more times that I have disappointed you than we both would hope, but I thank you for loving me despite that. Learning forgiveness and seeing how God uses every situation to bring us closer together is such a beautiful picture. My love for you has taken on so much more depth than when we first got married and above everything I am thankful that in all things you point me to Jesus. I would say that this year proved to be the most venturous thus far as we both tried to figure out what it meant to be parents. Griffin added so much joy to our lives and it has allowed us to slow down and focus on the simple things, now viewing the world through our child's eyes. Soon we will be welcoming our 2nd- more joy yet different challenges! Have I told you that I am so happy to be sharing my life with you? You have far exceeded my expectations and I am so thankful you are the "Daddy" to our kids. To see the way Griffin looks at you as his hero makes me fall more and more in love with you! Not only becoming parents, but also stepping into the roles of "pastor" and "pastor's wife." What a journey God has brought us on these last 4 years- I would have never guessed we would be where we are now, but I can honestly say I couldn't be happier. Knowing that we are exactly where God wants us to be gives so much peace and contentment that I wouldn't change a thing.
I love you so much and am truly blessed, Your Bride

Just Thankful...
As I was going through my google reader this morning, I came to my fellow Southeastern lady and blogging friend's blog, Stephanie. She inspired me to also share my heart of how thankful I am right now. It is definitely a God thing because I just got back from a refreshing walk to the campus where there was a slight breeze and perfect weather to make a beautiful day. And walked down that same historic district that Stephanie was speaking and couldnt help but talk to God along the way about how thankful I am.
Thankful that He calls me His.
Thankful that I can talk to Him anytime I want.
Simply thankful for the gospel and how it has changed my life.
Thankful for the opportunity to stay home with my boys.
Thankful for days when I have no real plans and can just enjoy God's creation outside with Griffin.
Thankful for a husband that works so hard to provide for our family.
Thankful to be surrounded by friends both here in Wake Forest and in Tennessee.
Thankful for the laughter Griffin brings to me when he wants to wave at every single person we pass.
Thankful to be celebrating 4 wonderful years of marriage tomorrow.
Thankful to get away with my family for a chance to relax and spend quality time together.
Thankful for a group of girls I am doing a book study with on "Sacred Marriage" and the awesome time we had together last night.
Thankful that Griffin loves to just crawl into my lap and give me kisses- melting my heart every time!
Thankful that my son loves to take naps.
Thankful for cheese dip and the satisfaction it gives to the ongoing pregnancy craving I have.
Thankful for a husband who loves me and is overjoyed right now to get to spend an entire weekend with me.
Thankful for this sweet baby boy growing inside of me.
Thankful that God chose me to be Griffin and Carter's Mommy.
Thankful for the peace and contentment my relationship with Jesus brings me.
Really just so THANKFUL right now and feeling as if I cant say it enough!
