2 years and going!

Sorry for my brief hiatus from blogging. I realized a few days ago that it has been almost a month since I have blogged. My job involves me using my computer for most of the day so when I come home I am just down right computered out. But that is no excuse, I will try to blog and comment more frequently again.

And on to the real post...

Matt and I just celebrated our two year anniversary. I cannot believe that it is already 2 years. Sometimes I feel like it has been a long time that we have been married, in a good way, and other times I am like it has been so short.

Our 2nd year of marriage was way easier than the first. The Lord has been so gracious to us. This year my health was a lot better, and the I feel like the Lord has taken us out of the transition stage of marriage. Our love has gotten even stronger for each other and for the Lord.

We celebrated our anniversary in Austin this year and I wanted to share some pictures with everyone. Enjoy!


Matt took me to a place called Hamilton Pool.
Its a natural pool that is formed in a cavern.
The water was cold but it was so beautiful!
Here is a picture of us together at Hamilton Pool.
See how beautiful it is!
We decided that on this trip we would only eat at
local places. This is us at Uchi at our anniversary dinner.
It is supposedly the best sushi place in Austin.
It definitely exceeded our expectations.
We also visited the capital building while we are there.
Interesting fact, our capital is taller that
the US Capital. Go Texas!
Here is me outside the capital.
It is so big, Matt couldn't fit me and the whole
capital in the picture.
The lights in the capital building
say Texas on them.
Our tour guide, loved Texas, it was great.

Here is Matt standing in front of a canyon
that was given to Texas to use in the Civil War,
I think, don't hold me accountable to that.

We we were walking back to our car
after we visted the Capital we
saw a State Trooper blocking the street.
We thought that was so weird, and
we kept walking and we began to think
someone had hit our car.
Well they did not hit our car, but got pretty close.
It was so close you could not fit your hand through it.
There was people standing around,
probably thinking why are these people taking
pictures of the accident.
We just kept thinking we have to blog about this.
Our car almost got clowed!

Needless to say we loved our trip. It was great to celebrate what God has done in our marriage and to dream about the future. We cannot wait to see what the Lord is going to do in our marriage over the next year and through out our life time. We are so thankful to also have friends and family to walk along side of us on this journey. Our God is so good!
