Happy Anniversary To Us...

Can you believe it!! The day has come. Joel and I have now been married for one full year. How crazy it feels when this day actually comes. The funniest part is that it feels all to long and all to short at the same time. I sometimes think to myself that it feels more like Joel and I have been together forever, and other times it feels like only weeks.
Weel it is an incredible day. A reminder of the commitment we promised each other 365 days ago. In fact at this time in the morning I was getting my make-up done and only 2 hours away from walking down the isle.
It's so surreal to be celebrating my very own anniversary. I have wished many other close couples a happy anniversary, but never thought that it would be my turn this early in my life.
Wel it is wonderfull, and gearing up for the next wonderful year of our lives together, Joel and I are very thankful for the great year we have behind us. The ups and downs, the tiffs and the romances, the tears and laughs, the struggles and answered prayers. Thankful for our families, our friends, and most importantly our wonderful and ever faithful God. We have learned and grown so much not just individually but in our relationship too. And everyone around us conttributed. Really looking back and thinking about this past year... We really were blessed and blessed again by God's love and the love of our family and friends. Thankyou all for being there for us, and for making us feel as lucky as we are.
Here's to another wonderful year with my very best friend and love of my life. I love you Joel. May our life together always be filled with such amazing memories and friends and love.

p.s. And what are we doing for our first year anniversary you ask? Well today is "Superbowl Sunday"... so I'll give you one guess. Yep, thats right!! We are going to a friends superbowl party. Actually I am really excited, surprisingly enough. My favorite team, the Seattle Seahawks are playing and they have never maed it this far.. so I am pumped. GO SEAHAWKS GO!!! They have to win for my anniversary.

prayer request...

I haven’t been praying much lately. my relationship with God has been a little rocky, but I guess it is never 100% solid either. I haven’t been praying much lately, and it seems selfish of me not to because I have a billion and two things I could pray about. I’m not sure why I haven’t and I guess I aughta pray about that too. I’m not sure where to start. I am always wondering if in order for a prayer to be a prayer I have to say Dear Lord in the beginning and Amen in the end. Or can I just think about all one billion and two things and send my thoughts up in one big fragmented conversation? Because that I have done alot of. I don’t think that counts, nor do I really think it should. Because every one of those things deserve alot more from me than that. I wish I knew what keeps me from praying more often.

I should just stop wishing and wondering and just start praying huh. I have always had problems with consistant prayer. I’’m working on it but I know it will take some time.

Dear Lord, I am so thankful that you are greater than me. Amen.
