Hooray for being married 1 whole year!!! We look forward to at least 70 more! As many of you know Nate and I celebrated our first anniversary on March 18th! Due to the massive women's conference and album recording that weekend...we actually didn't get to celebrate too much! But of course, my AMAZING husband had something much grander up his sleave than a cafe lunch and an evening in the acer arena with 20,000 other people. It all began to unfold at a very ealier 6 am as we caught a train to the city. Through some rather beneficial connections, Nate and I were able to share with a friend of ours a wonderful breakfast in the private executives lounge of the 5 star Swissotel in downtown Sydney! Not only was the food great but the view was immaculate! After returning home to finish some work, we packed the minivan (yes that's right) and headed off to Callala Beach, about 3 hours south of Sydney. God was faithful once again and a friend enabled us to make our home for the next 3 days in a wonderful vacation home there including a 3 minute walk to the beach. We spent the rest of the weekend surfing, relaxing, driving through beautiful countryside, visiting small towns, and vineyard hopping! It was a great weekend to be away, we are so thankful we had awesome people to help us out back home! My husband is the best and I only hope that next year I can rise to the standard! In all seriousness, God has really, really blessed Nate and I this year and we are so thankful for everything and for each other and we really do look forward to what God is going to do in us and through us as we continue our adventure together! We love you all, thanks to so many of you that set amazing examples of marriage for us to follow- especially our parents!
