Oh How a Year Changes Everything...


It was just one year ago this past July 14 that Randy and I were married in my hometown church in Sacred Heart, MN. A lot has happened since then...but being married is by far the greatest blessing to my life thus far. Now with a baby on the way, we're looking forward to becoming parents and witnessing all that life has to offer.
We had grand plans for our first anniversary before we found out that we're expecting a baby, and debated the last few months whether we should go all out for a full out "baby moon" or save as much money as we can and just stick around town. As the weekend drew closer, we still didn't have any plans, but spontaneously decided that this may be our last opportunity for a road trip. The Friday before our anniversary, we just packed up the car with nothing more than a couple small suitcases, a 6 lb. bag of gummy bears, and a map and headed for wherever the wind would take us. We ended up spending Friday night in Grand Rapids, Iowa; Saturday night in Nauvoo, IL; and Sunday night in Wisconsin Dells, WI. We literally spent next to nothing, and got to hang out exclusively for an entire weekend. It was great! We watched our wedding video in the car on the trip home and were completely grateful for all that we have and everything we have to look forward to together.
P.s. we'd post pics from the trip, but our battery was dead on our camera and so we bought a little disposable one...but we really don't have many on there either, as we were a little embarrased to use it :) I never realized how loud and obnoxious those "shoot and wind" cameras are until we've moved into the digital camera age.
