It is so hard to believe that one year of marriage has already passed. What a joy it's been. What a blessing. What GROWTH! I've seen more ugliness in myself than I ever knew existed. Praise the Lord for that. This year has been a year full of grace and learning. Hard at times, but always for our good.
Before getting married, I was confident that I knew Dan well and that I knew he was going to be a good husband. Boy was I wrong. I had NO IDEA what kind of guy I was getting. Everyday he is better and better and I just can't believe how blessed I am. I told him on our anniversary, I think the biggest surprise of the first year is that he's still by my side and likes me. That in itself amazes me.
We were able to spend the weekend in downtown Kansas City. It was such a fun, relxaing time. We attended a Weekend To Remember conference which was encouraging & a great reminder of what exactly our marriage is about.

After these pictures, silence ensued as we devoured our delicious desserts.
Beautiful scenery from our top floor hotel room
I have loved this marriage! (most days =) I have found marriage to be most difficult when I make it an idol and it does not give me what I want. I pray the Lord continues to sanctify both of us and help us tear down our idols! I am so thankful that He is faithful when we are not. I look forward to being broken and sanctified so that I may become more like Christ. All with my husband by my side.
