During our first year of marriage we have experienced,
- a hurricane honeymoon trapped in the mountains with no water, heat or food
- three months of wedded bliss hiking early in the mornings, sharing devotions and prayer, dinners by candlelight, meeting and laughing with friends
- forgiving, respecting, and trusting each other
- six months apart during Ian’s hellish special forces military training
- two weeks of summer heat fun with Ian and my parents and his mom for his graduation from training
- loving, mending, and serving each other
- a quick trip with Ian’s family for his brother’s graduation from basic training
- readjusting, learning, and wrestling with each other
- a weekend getaway to our favorite historical downtown hotel to celebrate friendship and forever
These pictures symbolize the first year of this covenant,
In the hands of the potter,
