The last week in July will always be a big week in our family. On Monday, the 26th, Mike and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary. To celebrate we spent the weekend in Austin, TX (Mike blogged about it if you want details). When we got home Sunday night we headed straight to the hospital to meet some of our close friend's new daughter that was born over the weekend. She is beautiful and just holding her gave me the baby bug! Monday life returned to the normal hustle and bustle, but we still tried to have a nice dinner and celebrate the actual day we got married.
Last night we said good-bye to a dear professor that was laid off in the ACU budget cuts. It was very difficult to see their family go through this transistion and for them to not be apart of the MFT program anymore. It is difficult for us to understand the plan God has for them when it seems so unfair that they have to uproot their family and move.
Today(29th) is Mike's 24th Birthday. For months I have been planning about his gift. He has been drooling over IPOD's since Christmas. Everytime I would get a little cash, I holed it away to go towards this present. Then I asked both parents to go in with me towards this gift. I am not sure who was more excited when he opened it this morning. Later this morning, he said he thinks he is in shock because it was totally unexpected. Needless to say he was thrilled.
I have said this before, but I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. He is so good to me and God blessed me beyond belief by giving him to me to spend my life with. This weekend was so great, sometimes I think he should be the therapist in the family. As we sat and had meals or coffee together he would ask questions about memories of the past year and goals we had for the future. It was a great time of recapping and planning.
I am constantly blown away by his love, devotion, and patience with me as we journey through life. Lord, thank you for blessing me with such a wonderful marriage. Thank you for walking beside Mike and I as we figure out how walk this journey together.

Sara, the two of you seem so loving and devoted to each other and to God. It is wonderful that there are times in life to celebrate what God blesses us with ~ esp.weekend get-a-ways! Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary, they continue to get even better, and the baby bug will get wose (but in a good way!) I promise! :)
Happy Anniversary!
And yes the bb bug only gets worse... could a little "Wendy or Jon" in the works? Of course my personal advice is ...Finish school first..babies don't care when your paper is due, or how early you have a test the next Morning!
I guess I was heading to Austin about the time you were leaving.
That's great that your anniversary can truly be a celebration of the love you have for one another and a manifestation of God's Presence to those who know you.
God bless!
