One year!

I've enjoyed catching up on some friend's blogs recently.
In addition, I've also been challenged to re-pick up the spiritual discipline of journaling.

On Navy Pier in Chicago- birthday/anniversary celebration!

     
         Between both of these impulses combined, I think I should be picking up the pace in the blogging department again. Blogging is a bit like journaling- while I tend to be a bit more emotional in my journal (because theoretically, someone could still be reading this blog- and I'd rather keep the crazy contained!) both function as a reminder to my faulty memory of all the good things God has given to me and all that He has worked in my life.

           And as I sit here in the early morning quiet of a Saturday morning... I am, one week later, still reveling in the fact that I have been married for one year! I don't even remember her question, but a thoughtful new friend was asking me about this anniversary, and I basically told her that I'm still in the stage where I want to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. This girl, who was struggling along trying to resign herself to figure out the single life, has been married a whole 365 days. It's crazy and amazing.
