2 Years Together

It's hard to know how the time can fly by so quickly. It's been 2 incredible years together

. . . thankful for each new day, always learning something new about each other, learning how to communicate better, learning how to trust God with the big and small things (especially money), having fun travels together, moving into a new home, serving at church together in many ways, seeing the refining process of marriage, learning how to balance schedules, having morning devotions together, Brian plugging through college,

. . . and goofy little things: going through at least 1 box of Shredded Mini-Wheats per week, making sure I never blow-dry my hair while Brian irons or we'll blow a circuit, trying to find a remedy for very large flocks of geese in our yard (like hundreds), witnessing Brian kill numerous flies with his bare hands, enjoying a good episode of King of Queens, . . . this could get long-winded.

Anyways, we really love life together . . . even through the hard and difficult times. God is very gracious! And, we're very thankful!

My mom gifted us with a trip to D.C. to celebrate 2 years . . .

Washington Monument, and our double-chins :)

The White House

Priding ourselves on cheap-eats: Julie's Empanadas

Yummo empanadas + lunch in the park + warm sunshine = bliss!

Doors I liked - at the Daugthers of American Revolution building

WWII Monument . . . it's new

The Lincoln Memorial

The Jefferson Memorial . . . yea, we got around

We got to see Twelfth Night, very fun

We did the museums, but I'll spare you those pictures

Sunset at the Capital one night

We couldn't pass up the Botanical Gardens, . . . more like I couldn't

An orchid named after me: Mary Orchid


We have many more pictures, but I don't want to bore you :). If you ever want a virtual trip of D.C., let me know. But, really I highly recommend a trip there. It's so unbelievably free everywhere, and we ate at some really fun restaurants. It's was a splendid time!
