I can't believe that one year ago...
Josh said "I do" (best day of life so far),
I moved to Houston,
Started my teaching career,
did not have many friends in H~town.
As of today...
Josh and I have been married for a year! (as WaMu says WooHoo!!!!),
We are looking for a house in Houston,
I'm now the new team leader for my grade level, subject. (thank you for this opprotunity)
I am making more and more friends every month.
It is crazy to reflect on where you came from and how far you've gone in a year. Sometimes I often forget to thank God for the small things until I'm given time to reflect. Yesterday, July 28th, was my one year anniversary. Josh and I had gone to San Antonio at the beginning of July for our one year anniversary trip. San Antonio was amazing we stayed at the Hyatt on the riverwalk. Our room overlooked the Alamo, which to me is very exciting because I'm a huge history buff (that's what I teach). We walked along and ate at the riverwalk. We got to go to Sea World which was amazing, Josh loved the dolphin show (do not let him tell you otherwise.) We went to Gruene, TX and saw where George Strait did his thing at Gruene Hall.
So last night we celebrated our actual anniversary by going out to eat. We were going to do the fancy thing and eat at Showgun's but decided at the last moment we wanted Kahlua Ice Cream Cake and ate at On the Border instead. It was a wonderful anniversary.
Please pray that I can keep my feet on the ground this school year and not be overwhelmed!

Thought of the day...
God gives great blessings when you want things to go your way...
Talk to God about a time when you wanted something so badly and He gave you a smack and showed you something better...
I never thought...
I never thought, in fact I even proclaimed that I would never start blogging. But now I find that I need a way to release the thoughts in my mind. So I'm so glad that I have an auto outlet to let my thoughts come alive on paper. So sorry dear bloggers for the previous somewhat prejudice of blogging, I have come over and joined the club. Now to be one to keep up with the blogging will and might be difficult.
Well first lets start with introductions: We are I guess still considered newly weds, however, we just celebrated our one year anniversary. I am so blessed to be married to an amazing and wonderful man who loves the Lord. We are in the midst of a very big transition, we are in the process of looking for our first house. We have had a few bumps in the road and have been left with a sour taste in our mouths over the way some of the sellers are handling the selling of houses. Please pray that God will show us which house will be right for us. Our prayer is that God will put us in the neighborhood that we will be most effective. I feel like I'm officially hunting for something and God has told me to "Slow my roll" and wait on Him. It is so hard to want something so bad and know that it is not the right time for that want. I really felt convicted yesterday about a house situation and I realized I have no right to be angry with people for the decisions they make for their families. I was angry because I felt like we got used as leverage for specific homeowners to get more money from another contracting party. God completely put a stop to that and made me realize that I am nobody special. How can I be angry when I'm going to be blessed with something that many people can not even afford. How selfish are we as humans to think so much of ourselves when in reality we are receiving and blessing that only others could dream of. Thank you Jesus for wonderful lessons that need to slap me in the face...
This weekend has been a crazy ride. One of our dearest friends Ansley got married. She looked beautiful and I was so happy for her. Congradulations Ans... we wish you many blessings. Plus it was a great day to visity old friends who we hadn't seen in such a long time. Next up on the wedding train is Amy and Landry's extravagaza in Marble Falls and we can't be more excited for them.
