It's been 1 whole year!

I still cant believe it! We've been married for 1 whole year and its been quite the adventure!

Here's a small recap:

-In the beginning, we lived in a tiny 700 square ft 1 bedroom shoe box apartment on Elm st in Springfield, MO.

-After 2 months being married, Trevor and I were invited to visit New Orleans for the first time and both knew that God was inviting us to be a apart of a new ministry.

-On April 31st, we packed up our lives and our new puppy (Indie!) and moved south to New Orleans!

If 1 year ago today, somebody would have told me all of this would have happened, I wouldn't have ever believed it. We have been thankful every step of the way.

This past year we have had our ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade any of these moments for anything.  Here are a few things I have learned this past year...

1. Marriage is a beautiful gift from God-enough said!

2. Communication is key.- I know it may sound cheesy, but it's definitely true

3. Simple acts of love keep two people knitted together.

4. Im a crazy sleeper. - I guess I never knew how crazy of a sleep talker I am. Trevor recited back to me what I said to him the night before in my dreams. Pretty embarrassing, but I think at this point he's used to it. :)

I have realized in this past year, we have had so many love and support from so many different people placed in our lives.

To all of our college friends back in Springfield and spread out across the country:

 Thank you! Thank you for your friendship and unforgettable memories we all created together.  We will never forget them! When Trevor and I first met in college, you were all there for us. We miss you all so much!

To all of our supporters:

Thank you so much for your prayers and support and being a part of this new ministry God has called us to be a part of. New Orleans we never something we've planned out, but we were obedient to Gods calling and thank you for being obedient to Gods calling to support us. We are your hands and feet.

To mi familia in California and family South Dakota, WE LOVE YOU ALL so much! Thank you for your prayers and support! We wish we could see you all more than once a year. We miss you all!

To our new friends in New Orleans: Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your lives and becoming a part of your spiritual family. Trevor and I have felt so loved and welcomed!

Trevor and I have had a wonderful first year of marriage and many more years to come! Hooray!
