Our First Anniversary!!

A year ago today I married the most amazing man!!  We have grown so much in the last year.  Our love feels effortless...right.  God is evolving our relationship with him and with each other.  I knew when we started dating that a music ministry of some sort was in our future, but I would have never imagined that we would be leading at Smiths Grove Baptist Church, nor would I have thought that we would have started leading the bible study in our community group.  That's a little out of our comfort zone, but so far so good!! :)  Blessed...God has blessed us in so many ways.  I cannot fathom what He has in store for our many, many years of marriage to come.  I'm sure that it will be beyond my wildest dreams!

A year ago today..........

One year ago at this moment, I began my trek up the banks of Barren River Lake to meet my husband!!

Delicious wedding meal remake!!  Thanks, momma Gina!

Praying for a fantastic second year!!! :)

What have you been up to??

We have had a crazy few weeks.  Soon KTIP will be over, summer will be here, and life will should be slightly less hectic!! :)  So....brief catch up!


Worship/praise team practice and services have been going wonderfully.  Music revitalizes my spirit after a busy week.  Sometimes I put too must emphasis on school things, and my focus and attention isn't where it should be (like on my Lord!!)  Another sidenote: McKenna is singing with the band again!!  YAY!!  Welcome back, Ken Ken!! :)

School is going great!!  KTIP:  countdown is 20 days!!  Whoo hoo.  Lots of stuff to do, but I can't believe it's almost over!! :D  Many, many things have been happening at school, including a book character parade and imagination gone crazy!!

Super cute Lego men!

No one can build like preschoolers!

Home life::  We've been pretty busy at home too!!  We had some prints professionally framed, and we (Jeremy especially!) can't wait to hang them in our hall!!  I'll post a picture as soon as we manage to get them on the walls.  I'm having a hard time coping with putting nail holes in our beautiful walls :(  I also got a haircut yesterday...taking a bit to get used to, but I like it so far!!

BANGS!

 Yesterday, Mickey D's was giving away free Pine seedlings in honor of Arbor Day!  We got three!!  Today, we dug some holes and planted them in our yard!!  Fingers crossed that they grow :)

One day I will be a tree!

Just for kicks, I thought I'd throw in an adorable picture of my sweet hubby.  I love him!

More updates coming soon!!!

The Broady Abode

It's coming along people, it's coming right along!! Here's what we have been working tirelessly on since last week sometime! (When I say we, I primarily mean Daddy, but Jeremy's learning pretty quick too!!!) I particularly like to cut things on the tile saw...it makes me feel powerful!! :) Without further ado, our picture updates!
