Celebrating Our First Year

This weekend marked Katrina and my first anniversary. Yep, one year ago, our families and friends were all huddled together in Rockton, Pennsylvania, while Katrina and I pledged ourselves, before God, to this adventure (and mystery) of marriage. We reflect and are grateful to all who were able to be there with us on May 20, one year ago. We are also thankful for the friends (and our brothers) who were not able to make it!

It has been a year marked by some incredible blessings and some equally challenging struggles. It is amazing where the Lord has led in the past year; we've learned many things about ourselves and each other and about how God calls us to love each other and those around us.

Katrina and I were able to spend a night at the Kisolanza Farm to celebrate. We had heard many wonderful things, though they were all surpassed by the actual experience. Inviting fireplaces, a warm bathtub, exquisite food, magnificent flowers, and beautiful forest walks (not to mention a stunning wife) all played a part in making this an amazing experience that we are not likely to soon forget.
